VASELINE 


JELLY. 


Is  an  absolutely  Pure  Jelly  of  Petroleum,  refined  by  a  new  process,  in  which  no  chemicals 
are  used.  It  contains  no  Paraffin  or  admixture  of  any  kind.  Universally  regarded  as 
the  best  basis  for  Ointments,  because  it  is  the  only  substance  that  will  not  either  crystallise, 
oxidise,  or  become  rancid.  It  defies  decomposition,  is  entirely  without  odour  or  taste,  and 
aftei'  liaving  been  liquefied  it  regains  all  its  primitive  properties  on  cooling. 

As  an  Emollient  it  has  no  rival,  as  it  is  the  only  known  substance  which  will  not 
irritate  the  skin. 

Not  being  a  distillate  of  Petroleum,  it  is  perfectly  harmless  when  introduced  into 
tlie  system. 

Endorsed  by  the  entire  Medical  Press  and  Profession,  and  in  general  use  in  Hospitals,

and  their  grainy  or  crystalline  structure,  which  is  very  evident  to  the  eye  when  compared  with  the  jelly-like  smoothness  of

PURE  THYMOL  SOA

THYMOL,  a  newly-discovered  Crystal  prepared  from  Wild  Thyme  {Oriffminjii  nf/^rnr),  is  pronounced  by  some  of  the 
most  eminent  Chemists  and  Physicians  in  Europe  tO  be  far  superior  to,  and  stronger  than,  Carbolic  Acid,  Coal  Tar,  or 
any  other  of  tbo  Antiseptics  and  Disinfectants  hitherto  known.  It  has  been  shown  by  the  experiments  of  Lewin  and  Bucholtz 
to  be  about  eifrht  times  as  powerful  as  Carbolic  Acid. 

It  has  also  the  very  great  advantage  of  being  QUITE  HARMLESS,  and  possesses  the  DELICIOUS 
and  FRAGRANT  ODOUR  of  WILD  THYME.  

FEEEIS  &  COMPY^'S  PURE  THYMOL  SOAP, 

Manufactured  by  tht-m  with  their  Pure  Crystals  of  Thymol,  is  confiilently  recommended  as  one  of  the  very  best  and 

most  elegant  Soaps  ever  introduced  to  the  Public. 
It  is  adapted  lor  the  TOILET  as  a  SKIN  SOAP,  as  an  ANTISEPTIC  SOAP,  and  FOR  GENERAL 

FAMILY  USE. 

An  easy  test  of  its  effectiveness  is,  that  it  at  oace  and  completely  removes  the  odour  of  Tobacco  Smoke.

SODA  V.  POTASH. 


Speakers • 


Scene  :  The 
The  Chemist. 
^  A  Partner  in  the  late 
Chc7nhi. — I  see  it  is  stated  witli  much  empliasis,  in  an  i 
advertisement,  hy  one  of  the  Partners  in  the  late  firm  of 
Bollmann  Condy  &  Co.,  that  "  Condy's  Fluid  is  not,  i 
and  never  was,  composed  of  Permanganate  of 

Potash."  The  article  lieing  patentt-d  the  specification  ought 
to  determine  that  point;  and  you,  having  been  also  a  Partner 
in  the  late  firm,  must  of  course  be  acquainted  with  its  terms. 
How  was  tho  invention  described  ? 

Tartncr. — You  are  quite  right.  Not  only  was  there  a 
Patent,  but  the  word  "Patent"  has  always  been  put  in  the 
title  on  the  labels,  so  that  the  correct  name  of  the  article  is 
not  Condy's  Fluid,  but  "  Condy's  Patent  Fluid."  The  Patent 
was  for  the  use  of  Manganate  and  Permanganate  of  Potash  or 
Soda  as  purifying  and  disinfecting  agents. 

Chemist.— ThQ  Patent,  then,  was  for  both  the  Potash  and 
the  Soda  salts.  It  has  been  asserted  that  when  the  invention 
was  put  in  operation,  and  Condy's  Fluid  brought  out,  Per- 
manganate of  Soda  alone  was  used. 

Partner. — At  that  time,  thy  I'erraanganates  not  being 
commercial  products,  it  was  necessary  to  begin  by  preparing 
the  salt  to  be  employed.  Soda  being  much  cheaper  than 
Potash,  and  it  being  a  matter  of  entire  indifference,  so  far  as 
the  chemical  efficacy  was  concerned,  which  was  chosen,  the 
preference  was  naturally  given  to  Soda. 

Clwmist. — Potash,  it  seems  to  me,  however,  would  produce 
a  better  article,  because  the  Potash  salt  being  crystallizable 
(whereas  the  Soda  salt  is  not)  yields  a  product  of  greater 
purity,  permitting  of  uniformity  in  the  strength  of  the  solution. 
But  cheapness,  as  you  say,  must  have  been  the  chief  considnra- 
tion,  especially  at  the  time  when  the  Permanganates  were 
looked  upon  somewhat  as  chemical  curiosities. 

Tartncr. — True.  It  would  no  doubt  have  been  better  to  use 
the  Potash  salt,  but  its  greater  cost  was  considered  an  obstacle. 


Shot  of  a  Chemist. 


firm  of  Bollmann  Condy  &  Co. 

Anyhow,  Soda  was  the  base  chosen.  Crude  Manganate  of 
Soda  was  first  made,  and  to  it,  in  solution,  Sulphuric  Acid 
was  added  in  quantity  sufficient  lo  convert  the  Manganate  into 
P'-rmanganate ;  Hydrated  Oxide  of  Manganese  was  thrown 
down,  and  the  supernatant  liquor,  consisting  of  solution  of 
Permanganate  of  Soda  and  Glauber's  Salt,  was  then  bottled  and 
sold  as  Condy's  Fluid. 

Clcniisi. — Quite  so  ;  that  is  what  I  suspected  on  having 
observed  that  many  of  the  Bollmann  bottles  were  partially  filled 
with  crystals  of  Glauber's  Salt.  If  I  am  not  mistaken,  how- 
ever, some  compensating  advantages  have  lately  been  claimed 
for  the  presence  of  this  impurity ;  it  has  been  said  to  impart 
antiseptic  properties  to  the  Fluid,  but  I  should  think  that  the 
effects  of  a  drachm  or  two  of  Glauber's  Salt  in  a  pailful  of 
dilute  Permanganate  solution  must  be  quite  infinitesimal. 

Partner. — At  all  events,  the  superiority  of  the  Potash  salt 
was  so  obvious,  that  Chemists  and  Pharmacists,  by  common 
accord,  seem  to  have  taken  it  for  granted  that  it  had  been  pre- 
ferred to  the  other  substances  mentioned  in  the  patent ;  for  you 
will  find  it  stated  in  most  works  on  Chemistry,  Pharmacy,  and 
Materia  Mediea  that  Condy's  Fluid  is  a  solution  of  Permanga- 
nate of  Potash. 

Chemist. — Yes  ;  and,  for  my  part,  I  cannot  understand  how 
any  maker  of  Condy's  Fluid  can  expect  to  enhance  the  reputa- 
tion of  his  article  by  the  avowal  that  it  is  prepared  from  a 
substance  having  the  disadvantages  I  have  pointed  out. 

Partner. — But  it  is  asserted  tlrat  Soda  is  a  rare  and  expen- 
sive material  compared  with  Potash,  and  no  doubt  that  was 
once  the  case  ;  but  it  was  a  very  long  time  ago.  and  would  t-ske 
us  back  to  the  age  of  the  "  mineral  chameleon." 

Chemist. — For  my  part,  I  am  quite  satisfied  with  the  present 
age,  and  mean  to  stick  to  the  improved  Potash  preparation  of 
the  Condy's  Fluid  Company. 


THE  CONDY'S  FLUID  CASE -Condy  v.  Mitchell, 

FAILTJEE   AND   EXPOSURE   OF   THE   "TRAP   TO   CATCH  CHEMISTS." 


(Precis  of  Eeport  in  "  T7ic  Chemist  and  Druggist"  Bcecmher  loth,  1877.) 
COURT  OF  APPEAL,  LINCOLN'S  UTN,  Nov.  27,  1877. 

LORD  JUSTICE  JAMES  (without  needing  to  hear  defcnflant's  counsel)  said— That  such  a  suit  should  have  been  instituted  at  all  was  very 
remarkable  ;  but  that,  after  the  loarned  Vice-Chancellor's  judgment,  this  appeal  should  have  been  brought  on  was  particularly  strange.  Dr.  Mitchell 
had  obtained  his  right  by  payment  ot  a  substantial  money  consideration,  and  Condy's  Fluid  and  Condy's  Ozonised  Water  were  as  much  his 
Property  as  the  Plaintiff's.   Having  that  right.  Dr.  Mitchell  was  entitled  to  set  up  the  Condy's  Fluid  Company. 

LORD  JUSTICE  BAGGALLAY  was  of  the  same  opinion.  The  style  of  the  partnership  had  been  "  Bollmaim  Condy  &  Co.,''  and  the 
plaintiff  set  up  in  Ms  own  name  of  "  H.  BoUmann  Condy."  It  was  not  necessary  to  consider  whether  he  might  have  been  restrained  from  so  doing  ;  but 
he  came  into  court  with  a  very  bad  grace.   To  get  evidence  hk  had  resorted  to  what  was,  in  fact,  a  trap  to  catch  chemists. 

LORD  JUSTICE  THESIGER  was  also  ot  that  opinion  ;  and  especially  as  to  the  character  of  the  plaintifE's  evidence.  A  good  deal  of 
it  seemed  to  him  not  admissible  .at  all. 

LORD  JUSTICE  JAMES:  Appeal  Dismissed  with  Costs. 


IVOTICE.— Chemi.sts  ordering  should  specify  THE  CONDY'S  FLUID  COMPANY'S  articles  at  REDUCED

admirable  consistency,  bland,  emollient,  antiseptic,  and  healing. 

CANNOT  BECOME  RANCID. 

"  Moderate  in  price,  and  deserving  a  careful  trial." — British  Medical  Journal. 

"  A  valuable  and  useful  substance,  and  will  in  all  probability  be  very  largely  used." — Medical  Times 
AND  Gazette. 

"Will  take  a  high  position  among  our  other  pharmaceutical  preparations." — Medical  Press  and  Circular. 
"  Likely  to  prove  useful  as  a  dressing  for  wounds  and  excoriations," — Practitioner. 


OZOIiEIillVE  is  a  clear,  pale  yellow,  very  slightly  fluorescent  body, 
composed  of  hydrocarbons  akin  to  Paraffine  in  their  chemical  characters. 
It  is  produced  from  Ozokerit,  or  Earth  Wax,  by  the  separation  of  lighter 
and  denser  hydrocarbons,  and  subsequent  purification  by  processes  which 
remove  smell  and  taste,  and  yield  it  in  the  pleasant  form  which  has 
already  gained  for  it  a  preference  before  other  similar  bodies. 

OZOIilEIilIXE  has  been  used  with  remarkable  success  as  a  simple 
dressing  for  wounds,  its  mild  and  healing  properties  rendering  it  peculiarly 
sratefiil  to  the  patient. 

<I>ZOIiIi2I^.IIVE  is  unsurpassed  as  an  unguent  basis ;  unchangeable  in 
itself,  except  by  the  action  of  the  most  powerful  chemical  agents,  it 
preserves  other  bodies  with  which  it  may  be  incorporated  from  all  tendencies 
to  decomposition.  The  superiority  of  Ozokerine  to  lard  in  this  respect 
cannot  be  over-estimated. 

OZOlKE^I^^XiVIl^s  in  addition  to  the  above  advantages,  possesses  that  of 
being  moderate  in  price,  which  marks  it  out  as  a  preparation  destined  to 
supersede  all  other  articles  hitherto  used  for  similar  purposes.

lEXTRACT  OF  MALTED  BARLEY,  WHEAT,  AND  OATSJ 

This  Preparation  contains  from  Five  to  Ten  times  the  beneficial  and  nutritive 
elements  found  in  any  alcoholic  Extract  of  Malt. 

MALTINE  is  highly  concentrated  extract  of  malted  Barley,  malted  Wheat,  and  malted  Oafs,  coDtaining,  undiminished  and 
unimpaired,  all  the  nutritious  principles  that  can  be  extracted  from  these  cereals.  By  the  most  carefully  conducted  scientific 
process  we  are  enabled  to  offer  to  the  medical  profession  a  perfect  article,  possessing  five  to  ten  times  the  beneficial  and  nutritive 
merit  of  any  alcoholic  or  fermented  Extract  of  Malt. 

In  su])pori  of  our  clauns  tee  invite  the  attention  of  the  Profession  to  the  following  points,  vi~.: — ■ 

FIRST:  In  the  maniifactiu'e  of  MALTIWE  the  evaporation  necessary  to  reiluce  it  to  its  great  density  is  conducted  in  vacuo,  at  a  temperatra-e 
ranging  from  100°  to  120°  Fahr. ;  wliile  many  manufacturers  of  Extract  of  Milt  resort  to  "  open  pan  "  or  low  pressure  sccam  boiling.  By 
neither  of  the  latter  processes  can  the  extract  be  so  produced  as  to  preserve  unimpaired  the  Diastase,  Phosphates,  and  Albuminoids  on  which  its 
remedial  value  so  greatly  depends  ;  the  products  abo  are  either  of  a  darli  colour  or  of  low  specific  gravity,  and  possess  little  virtue  aside  from 
the  saccharine  matter  whicli  they  contain. 

SECOND :  MALTINE  being  a  non-alcoholic  or  uufermented  malt  extract,  and  prepared  at  a  low  temperatuie,  it  contains  far  more  of  the  invaluable 
starch-converting  Diastase  than  any  alcoholic  malt  extract  can  possibly  contain,  while  its  concentrated  condition  prevents  the  Diastase  from 
being  spoUt  by  keeping.  lu  MALTINE  this  innocuous  but  all  powerful  medicinal  agent.  Diastase,  is  thus  placed  at  the  disposal  of  medical 
practitioners  and  the  public  in  its  best  possible  condition. 

THIRD:  ZiEiisSEN'  says,  "  During  the  last  few  years  Malt  Extract  has  almost  entirely  taken  the  place  of  Cod  Liver  Oil  in  the  treatment  of  phthisis  and 
and  other  wasting  diseases,  at  the  Basle  Hospital,  and  -ne  have  as  yet  found  no  reason  for  returning  to  the  use  of  the  latter  remedy."  The  carbo- 
hydrates, or  heat-producing  materials  in  MALTINE  will,  alone,  we  believe,  be  found  to  be  the  perfect  equivalent  of  Cod  Liver  OU — to  say 
nothing  of  the  nourishing  materials. 

FOURTH :  LinnEG  says,  "  Wheat  and  Oats  stand  first  among  our  list  of  cereals  in  combining  all  the  elements  in  proportions  necessary  to  supiport  animal 
life.   They  are  especially  rich  in  muscular  and  fat-producing  elements."   Hence  our  reason  for  using  malted  Wheat  and  malted  Oats,  while  we 
use  malted  Barley  in  the  manufacture  of  MALTINE.  because  it  is  comparatively  rich  in  Diastase. 
Wc  believe  that  any  practitioner  will  readily  recognise  the  superiority  of  MALTINE,  awc^  the  Manvfacturers  respectfully 
request  a  tr  ial  and  comparison  of  merits  with  ant/  article  offered  for  similer  uses. 

M^LTITNE    ^TVI>    IT^i^  COMFOXJIVDS 

Can  undoubtedly  be  used  with  greater  success  than  any  other  remedy  now   known  in  cases  of  Geneial  and  Nervous  Debility, 
Indigestion,  Imperfect  Nutrition,  and  Deficient  Lactation ;  Pulmonary  Affecti  ons,  such  as  Phthisis,  Coughs,  Colds,  Hoarseness, 
Irritation  of  the  Mucous  Membranes,  and  Difiicult  Expectoration ;  Cholera    Infantum  and  Wasting  Diseases  of  Children  and 
Adults ;  Convalescence  from  Fevers,  and  whenever  it  is  necessary  to  increa  se  the  vital  forces  and  build  up  the  system. 

We  Manufacture  the  following  Preparations,  the  Formulas  and  Doses  of  which  are  printed  on  the 
Labels  attached  to  each  Bottle:— 

MALTINE  :  In  16-oz.  and  8-oz.  Bottles,  at  4s,  Qd.  and  3s.  Qd. 
MALTINE  Ferrated :       Do.  6s.  6;^.  and  3s.  6rf. 

This  combination  is  specially  indicated  in  Anremia  and  Chlorosis,  and  in  all  cases  of  defective  nutrition  where  Iron  is  deficient  in  the  system. 

MALTINE  with  Alternatives : 

In  this  preparation  MALTINE  is  combined  with  the  most  valuable  Alteratives  known,  such  as  Iodides,  Bromides,  and  Chlorides,  and  will 
fully  meet  the  requiiements  of  the  practitioners  in  Syphilis,  Scrofula,  and  all  depraved  conditions  of  the  blood. 

Each  fluid  ounce  contains  :  Chloriile  Calcium, 10  grains ;  Chloride  Magnesium,  10  grains  ;  Bromide  Sodium,  .5  grains  ;  Iodide  Potassium,  1  grain  ;

of  the  all-important  digestive  agents,  Diastase  being  one  of  the  constituents  of  the  MALTINE.  We  believe  there  are  few  cases  of 
Dyspepsia  which  will  not  readily  yield  to  the  medicinal  properties  of  the  above  combination,  while  the  system  is  invigorated  by  its  nutritive 
qualities.   In  16-oz.  and  8-oz.  Bottles,  6s.  Gd.  and  3s.  Gd.

—may  we  say  of  both  sexes — should  ask  for  "  Allen's."  "It  is  no  figure  o£  speech  to  say  " 
that  the  daintily-made  rolls  contain  less  paper  than  tobacco,  and  that  the  latter  is  piu'e  and 
unadulterated  American.  Whether  the  smoker  indulges  in  "  'ihe  Eichmond  Gem,"  with  or 
without  mouth-pieces — the  latter  for  choice— "  The  Pet"  Cigaaettes,  or  "Napoleon's" 
genuine  Perique,  his  experience  will  be  entirely  satisfactory.  The  Tobacco  is  of  the  most 
exquisite  quality.  In  fine,  both  as  regards  Savour  and  construction,  Messrs.  J.  F.  Allen  & 
Co.'s  Cigarettes  thoroughly  deseiwe  recommendation.  All  Tobacconists  supply  them. — "Vide 
The  Illustrated  Spoi  limj  and  Dramatic  Xews,  June  15,  1878. 


TO    PIPE  SMOKERS. 

A  CORRESPO.VDENT  writes:  — "The  'RICHMOND  GEM  MIXTUBE  '  is 
delicious  and  remarkably  well  compounded  ;  this  Mixture  should  only  be  smoked  iiulooi'S,  it 
is  far  too  good  to  be  wa,sted  ■  on  the  desert  air.' 

"The  'RICHMOND  GEM  CURLY  CTJT  '  is  also  excellent,  and  it  is  difficult 
to  choose  between  this  and  the  above,  bat  I  tliink  the  tarn  is  just  iu  favour  of  the 
'  Mixture  ; '  this  is  also  almost  too  delicate  a  Savour  for  out-of-door  use  to  enjoy  it  as 
one  ought. 

"The  'IMPERIAL  BIRD'S  EYE'  is  a  pleas.aut,  clean-smoking,  fragrant 
Tobacco,  capital  for  Yachting,  Fishing,  Shooting,  or  in  fact  any  other  ont-of-door 
use. 

"  I  o'  serve  one  thing  with  all  these  Tobaccos,  they  do  not  cake,  or  go  hard  in  the  pipe, 
however  tightly  filled,  and  they  bivrn  to  the  very  last  grain ;  nor  do  they  clog  the  )iipe  as 
other  Tobaccos  do,  requiring  frequent  scraping  ;  the  absence  of  Nitre,  besides  saving  the 
burning  of  the  tongue  and  parching  the  throat,  so  usual  with  other  Tobaccos,  affords  the 
luxury  of  a  dry  pipe  to  the  last,  there  is  no  '  wobbling  '  to  be  heard  a  yard  off."

The  Laboratory  of  this  Institution  (represented  above)  is  justly  acknowledged  to  be  the  most  elegantly 
fitted  in  Great  Britain.  The  perfect  nature  of  the  instruction  given  is  too  well  known  to  requir-e  comment, 
and  is  proved  by  upwards  of  1,200  living  witnesses  to  its  success  now  on  the  roll  of  registered  Chemists,  as 
well  as  by  the  positions  occupied  by  its  non-pharmaceutical  students  both  as  Medical  Officers  of  Health  and 
Analysts.  The  Directors  continue  to  spare  no  expense  in  giving  the  greatest  facilities,  and  in  providing 
the  most  competent  Lecturers,  so  as  to  ensure  to  students  both  present  success  and  permanent  benedt  in 
after  life. 

The  strictly  Pharmaceutical  portion  of  the  instruction  includes  daily  lectures  in  Chemistry,  Botany, 
Physics,  Materia  Medica,  Pharmacy  and  Dispensing,  and  Medical  Latin,  extending  either  to  a  term  of 
ten,  five,  or  tliree  months ;  the  latter  course  being  intended  for  students  already  possessing  some  private 
knowledge. 

TICKETS  OP  ATTENDANCE  are  granted  and  PRIZE  MEDALS  and  CERTIFICATES  of 
MERIT  are  awarded  in  December,  April,  and  July,  by  the  visiting  examiners. 

THjE  LABOBATOBIES  are  Open  for  Practical  Instruction  daihj,  from  10  till  5,  except  Saturday,  when 
they  close  at  2  p.m. 

The  SESSION  extends  from  IGtli  Septennlber  to  SOtU  July,  but  as

"  Apart  from  its  educational  character,  the  book  will  be  useful  as  a  work  of  reference,  and  should  therefore  find  a  place  in

DARTON'S  NEW  niPROVED  CLINICAL  THERMOMETER.— We  can  recommend  this 
thermometer  as  tlie  most  successful  attempt  that  we  know  of  to  produce  a  self-registering 
thermometer  that  does  not  get  out  of  order.  Instead  of  the  ordinary  constriction  in  the  tube,  Just  ;  ' 
above  the  bulb,  the  glass  is  pushed  in  and  fdrms  a  knife  edge,  cutting  off  the  mercnrial  column  as  it 
rises,  and  thus  making  the  column  itself  form  its  own  index.  This  index,  being  so  much  longer  i 
than  the  ordinary  one,  is  more  easily  seen.  After  reading  it  off,  the  column  can  easily  be  shaken 
down,  as  in  an  ordinary  thermometer.

Established  for  the  express  purpose  of  preparing  for  the  various

in  the  country,  or  those  unable  to  attend  a  School  of  Pharmacy.

Those  Students  who  failed  at  the  recent  Preliminary  Exami- 
nation, should  join  at  once,  in  order  to  ensure  success  at  their 
next  attempt.    References  given  to  successful  candidates. 

"  We  have  had  an  opportunity  of  inspecting  the  arrangements 
made  at  the  Westminster  College  for  carrying  out  this  mode  of 
instruction,  and  are  not  at  all  surprised  that  Mr.  Wills  has 
the  boldness  to  print  on  his  prospectus,  '  Success  Guaranteed.' 
The  manner  of  teaching  adopted  by  this  system  is  certainly  too 
sound  to  have  the  slightest  character  of  cramming,  unless  it  be 
that  it  crams  the  student  with  the  knowledge  requisite  to  pass 
the  stiff  examinations  at  Bloomsbury  Square,  and  to  perform 
the  duties  of  a  pharmacist  creditably  to  himself,  and  with 
satisfaction  to  the  public,  and  no  system  can  accomplish  more. 
To  an  ardent,  anxious  pupil,  we  believe  there  is  a  short  cut 
from  Westminster  College  to  Bloomsbury  Square,  and  that  any 
student  can  become  a  Pharmaceutical  Chemist  if  he  Wills  it." —

(Sittings  before  Lord  Coleridge  and 
Justices  Grove  and  Denman. ) 

HICKISSOX  i-.  ASHTON. 

Defendant  moved  for  a  NEW 
TRIAL. 

Application  REFUSED. 

This  action,  which  was  brought  for 
the  alleged  infringement  of  the  Plain- 
tiff's Trade  Mark,  was  tried  at  the  last 
sittings  at  Guildhall,  before  Mr.  Baron 
Cleasby.  when  the  verdict  was  for  the 
Plaintiff  with  damages. 

The  PLAINTIFF  was  the  HUS- 
BAND of  tlie  DAUGHTER  of  the  late 
JOHN  B  >ND,  the  PROPRIETOR 
of  BOND'S  CRYSTAL  PALACE 
MARKING  INK.  The  Defendant 
was  a  Druggist,  and  he  had  sold  a 
Marking  Ink  manufactured  by  a  Mr. 
Murphy,  and  the  Plaintiff  comidained 
that  the  Labels  on  Murphy's  Ink  wtre 
an  infringement  on  his  Labels.  A 
TRADE  MARK  is  not  only  a  SYM- 
BOL  or  CHARACTER,but  the  gene- 
ral appearance  of  a  label,  whereby 
the  public  would  be  deceived. 

Their  I^ordships  this  morning,  after 
consulting  Mr.  Baron  Cleasby  on  the 
matter,  refused  the  rule,  that  learned 
judge  having  expressed  his  satisfaction 
withthe  verdict.— RULE  REFUSED.

RIMMEL'S  OZONIZED  PERFUMERY. 

Dn.  DAY,  of  Geelong,  who  has  dovoted  much  time  and  attention  to  sanitary  questions,  has  discovered  that  alcoholic  perfumes  form  excellent  vehicles 
foliffusing  ozone  iu  the  atmosphere  and  destroying  noxious  emanations  and  miasma.  At  his  suggestion,  E.  Rimmel  has  prepared  a  series  of  Toilet 
W;'ier3  (Eau-de-Cologne,  Lavender,  and  Florida),  which  are  oxygenated  by  a  chemical  process,  aud  evolve  a  quantity  of  Ozone.  They  are  strongly 
lelmmended  to  be  used  on  the  handkerckief  when  attending  crowded  places,  visiting  the  sick,  or  travelling  by  land  or  sea  ;  also  to  be  sprinkled  on  beds 
oiirpets,  or  on  a  pad  hung  up  in  the  air.  Dr.  Day  writes  to  E.  Rimmel  (November  28,  1877)  : — "In  manufacturing  and  making  known  the  hygienic 
V.'  e  of  oxygenated  perfumery  you  will  be  conferring  a  great  benefit  to  the  public,  for  it  is  the  best  means  of  disinfecting  bedrooms,  closets,  &c.

TASTELESS  PILLS. 

{COX'S  PA  TENT.)  Dated  and  Sealed,  April  13, 1854. 
Surgeons  and  Chemists  supplied  with  an  excellent  Aperient 
Fill  (the  formula  for  -which  will  be  forwarded),  covered  with  a 
thin  non-metallic  film,  rendering  each  pill  perfectly  tasteless, 
at  Is.  a  gross,  postage  free.  They  present  an  elegant, 
pearl-like  appearance,  and  maybe  kept  in  the  mouth  several 
minutes  without  taste,  yet  readily  dissolving,  even  in  cold 
water,  in  an  hour.  Any  formula  dispensed  and  covered,  and 
samples,  with  a  list  of  pills  from  500  different  forms,  which  are 
kept  in  stock,  will  be  forwarded  free  on  application. 

Twenty  years'  success,  as  proved  by  unsolicited 
Testimonials  from  Medical  Men  in  almost  every 
town  and  village  in  the  kingdom,  has  produced 
imitations  likely  to  bring  a  useful  invention  into 
disrepute,  as  a  large  percentage  of  the  Varnished 
Pills  made  to  imitate  ours  pass  through  the 
stomach  unaltered. 


The  Registrar  of  Tr;ide  Marks  has  just  granted  us  (after  three 
months'  publicity)  the  Trade  Mark,  of  which  the  following  is

NESTLES   MILK  FOOD, 

For  Infants,   Oliildren,   and  Invalids. 

London  Depot— 7   BARBICAN,  E.G. 

NESTLE'S  MILK  FOOD  is  prepared  at  Vevey,  Switzerland,  from  the  pure  milk  of  Alpine  fed  cows,  the  finest  wheaten  flour 
and  sugar,  combined  in  exact  proportions  to  imitate  closely  the  natural  food  for  infants.  It  is  thoroughly  cooked,  and  reduced  to 
a  fine  powder,  perfectly  soluble  in  water,  requires  only  the  simple  addition  of  water  to  prepare  it  for  use — in  this  respect  having 
the  advantage  over  all  other  foods. 

NESTLE'S  MILK  FOOD  is  highly  recommended  by  the  best  medical  authorities  in  all  parts  of  the  globe  as  a  perfect  diet. 
*  Nestle's  is  the  original  and  genuine  Milk  Food  or  Powder.    The  extensive  demand  ^ 

for  this  Food,  its  well  known  superiority  and  universal  recognition  by  the  medical 
profession,  have  produced  the  inevitable  imitations.  The  trade  and  the  public  are 
hereby  cautioned.  Nestle's  Milk  Food  has  stood  the  test  of  years.  Take  no  other 
under  any  pretence  whatever. 

NESTLE'S  MILK  FOOD  is  put  up  in  tins,  packed  in  lined  cases  specially 
for  the  export  trade.  Is  highly  concentrated  and  in  a  perfectly  dry  state.  Will 
keep  good  in  any  climate.

APERIENT  FRUIT  LOZENGES. 

Prepared  from  the  bark  of  the  Rhamnus  Frangula,  a  medicine  which  has 
been  described  on  high  authority  as  "  the  only  real  aperient  we  have"  ;  all 
others  usually  classed  under  that  name  being  drastic  in  their  operation  and 
often  injurious  in  their  after  efEect.  They  are  extremely  palatable,  and 
children  take  them  readily  as  a  sweetmeat.  "Mild  and  uniform  in  their 
operation." — Lancet.  "  The  lozenge  is  an  excellent  ami  exceedingly  mild 
form  of  laxative,  especially  suitable  for  children  and  delicate  people."— 
Birmingham  Medical  Review.  "  They  are  very  mild,  and  will  probably  be 
found  very  useful  for  children  and  delicate  women." — Medical  Times  and 
Oazeite.  "  These  Lozenges  are  now  extensively  prescribed  by  several  of  the 
leading  medical  men  in  London  and  other  cities.  They  are  not  to  be 
considered  a  patent  or  quack  medicine  in  any  respect." — Tlte  Londm 
Medical  Record. 

The  attention  of  the  profession  and  of  pharmacists  is  especially 
called  to  these  Lozenges.  They  are  extremely  palatable. 
Children  take  them  readily  as  a  sweetmeat.

ADVANTAGES. 

1.  These  American  Mills 
grind  faster  than 
others  of  eqnal  size. 

2.  Bach  Mill  is  supplied 
with  two  fly  wheels, 
which  prevents  the 
strain  being  on  one 
side. 

3.  They  never  require 
re-cutting,  but  keep 
sharp  by  being  used  : 
we  can  fit  a  new  pair 
of  Grinders  for  less 
than  it  would  cost  to 
have  one  of  the  old- 
fashioned  Mills  re-cut. 

4.  One  pair  o£  Grinders

The  objects  of  this  Association  are — First,  to  manufacture  and  supply  to  Shareholders  who  are  Chemists,  and  to  Hospitals, 
Aerated  and  Mineral  Waters  of  specified  formulas  and  guaranteed  quality. 

Secondly,  to  deal  generally  in  the  Waters  of  the  various  mineral  springs  in  Great  Britain. 

The  only  contract  which  has  been  entered  into  is  a  contract  between  the  Company  and  Mr.  T.  R.  Ancell,  dated  on  or  about  the 
^th  August,  1878,  which  may  be  seen  in  the  46th  Article  of  Association,  which  may  be  had  at  the  Office  of  the  Company. 


THE  Directors  have  much  pleasure  in  stating  that  thoy  are  now  prepared  ti  receive  aud  execute  orders  from  Shareholders.  The 
greatest  care  has  been  taken  in  fitting  up  the  Factory  with  the  most  improved  machines,  fitted  with  glass  pluugers  and  silver-lined 
cylinders,  in  order  to  entirely  pre\ent  metallic  contamination.    A  perfect  .system  of  filtration  has  also  been  adopted. 

The  Association  will  be  conducted  strictly  on  co-operative  principles — terms,  cash  with  order.  To  save  trouble  and  expense,  and 
•to  give  an  advantage  to  large  buyers,  Shareholders  can  make  payments  on  account  in  advance,  upon  which  discount  will  be  allowed  at 
the  following  rates  : — 

Upon  sums  of  £5    ...    2J  per  cent.        Upon  sums  of  £i'0    ...    5  per  cent.        Upon  sums  of  £50    ...    7^  per  cent. 
The  balance  at  credit  can  be  withdrawn  at  any  time  by  giving  three  days'  notice. 

The  Association  does  not  pay  carriage.  Arrangements  have  been  made  for  the  present  with  Messrs.  Carter,  Paterson  &  Co.,  to 
deliver  in  London  and  the  Suburbs,  at  the  rate  of  4rf.  per  doz.,  Sj'phons  M.  per  doz. ;  but  when  business  justifies  them,  the  Directors  will 
make  arrangements  to  deliver  in  the  Company's  own  vans.  Bottles  will  be  charged  and  allo-wed  I'or  at  the  rate  of  18s.  per  gross,  and 
Syphons  24.S.  per  dozen.    Bin  Cases  as  follows  : —

1  dozen  Syphon  Cases,  2s.  Gt/. 

All  cases  are  numbered,  but  Returns  should  be  advised.  Bottles,  Syphons,  and  Cases  must  be  paid  for  in  advance  ;  on  no  other  terms 
could  the  Directors  supply  the  Waters  at  the  low  prices  quoted.

Tlie  above  prices  and  arrangements  are  suhjecl  to  such  alteration  as  tfie  Directors  matj  from  time  to  time  consider  adcisable. 

Shareholders  can  have  the  Waters  supplied  in  plain  bottles,  their  own  labels  put  on  if  desired,  and  manufactured  from  their  own 
formulae. 

A  further  Price  List  of  Manufactured  Waters  will  be  forwarded  shortly,  when  the  Directors  trust  tliey  will  be  able  to  announce 
they  have  made  arrangements  to  carry  out  the  second  object  of  the  Association,  in  bottling  the  principal  Mineral  Waters  in  England. 

The  Waters  will  be  submitted  to  Dr.  Paul  for  analysis,  and  his  report  published  in  the  form  of  circulars,  which  will  be  forwarded 
each  Shareholder  for  distribution  amongst  the  medical  profe.ssion  in  his  district.    Shareholders  will  oblige  by  stating  the  number  of 
circulars  required,  together  with  description  and  address  to  be  printed  on  counter-bills. 

.The  Directors  wish  to  remind  and  impress  on  Shareholders  that  the  great  benefits  derived  from  co-operation  largely  depend  on  their 
individual  efforts  ;  they  therefore  trust  that  every  Shareholder,  in  his  own  interest,  and  in  the  interests  of  the  A.s.sociatiou,  will  endeavour 
to  extend  his  business,  be.aring  in  mind  that  onl}'  Chemists,  with  the  exception  of  Hosjiitals,  can  participate  in  the  benefits  of  the  Associa- 
tioii,  and  that  the  primary  object  is  to  supply  Waters  of  guaranteed  purity  and  recogni.sed  forniuho,  cipial  to  those  of  the  best  milkers,  at 
such  low  prices  as  co-operation  could  alone  warrant.  Shareholders  will  be  in  an  exceptionally  favoured  position,  as  compared  with 
Chemists  outside  the  Association,  in  having  a  thoroughly  reliable  article  to  oft'er  purchasers  on  far  better  terms  than  any  private  firm  can 
supply  them,  and  have  consequentlj'  an  inducement  to  introduce  the  Waters  to  the  notice  of  the  medical  profession  and  the  public. 
The  Directors  will  be  glad  to  receive  suggestions  from  Shareholders,  and  also  to  know  if  patent  bottles  are  required.

TiTESE  small  Engines  are  specially  adapted  for  driving  Soda  Water  Machinery  wlierever  a 
moderate  amount  of  cheap  power  is  required.  They  combine  simplicity,  compactness,  and 
great  strength,  are  easily  managed,  occupy  very  little  space,  and  require  no  fixing. 

They  are  available  at  any  time,  as  steam  can  be  got  up  in  half  an  hour 
from  cold  water. 

They   require   no   fixing,  being  erected   on  a   Cast-iron   "Water  Tank 
Foundation. 

They  are  simple  in  construction,  and,  having  as  few  working  parts  as 
possible,  are  not  likely  to  get  out  of  repair. 

They  can  be  driven  by  a  boy.    Can  be  made  to  burn  GAS 
instead  of  Coal.

iSODA  WATER  BOTTLE  (Codd's  Patent). 

j  TO   THOSE   ABOUT   USING   A   PATENT  BOTTLE! 

Before  deciding,  judge  of  the  many  advantages  that  are  to  be  found  in  this  Patent  over  others. 
It  is,  without  doubt,  the  only  one  that  contains  all  the  essentials  to  make  it  perfect,  and  it  is 
therefore  no  -wonder  that  over  500  Mineral  Water  Manufacturers  in  Great  Britain  alono  have 
given  up  all  other  kinds  in  favour  of  this.    It  is  the  cleanest,  as  dirty  wood  or  rubber  docs  not 
»:  jgo  into  the  drink  ;  there  is  scarcely  any  rubber  exposed,  therefore  no  taste,  as  in  those  stoppers 
.  iphat  fall  into  the  Bottle.    The  contents  can  bo  emptied  without  fear  of  stopper  preventing 
(,  butflow.  The  gaseous  properties  are  retained  in  the  drinks,  as  it  is  not  thrown  out  of  the  Waters 
I  by  the  stopper  falling  into  the  Bottle,  and  many  other  advantages  too  numerous  to  mention.

Specially  adapted  for  tlie  manufacture  of  Ginger  Beer,  Ginger  Ale,  Wines,  and  Cordials.  These,  when 
made  with  this  essence,  are  bright  and  transparent,  and  have  the  finest  Jamaica  Ginger  flavour  and 
aroma.    It  is  also  adapted  for  all  Dietetic,  Medicinal,  and  Pharmaceutical  purposes.

Each  fluid  ounce  of  this  Essence  contains  the  aromatic  constituent  of  240  grains  of  Jamaica  Ginger  Root.

"  It  is  really  necessary  that  a  superior  Ginger  Beer  should  be  introcluccd 
to  the  pubUc,  and  in  Mr.  Hay's  Ginger  Essence  we  And  the  very  ingredient 
to  bring  about  such  a  desideratum." — Mineral  Water-  Trade  Recorder  and 
Advocate, 

"  Ginger  Beer  manufactui-ed  from  this  Essence  has  the  purest  Jamaica 
Ginger  Aroma  distinguishable  as  soon  as  poiu'ed  out.  It  is  a  beverage  fit 
for  any  gentleman's  table,  and  ought  to  attain  great  popularity."— TAf

"  The  Ginger  Beer  made  with  this  purer  Tincture  or  Ginger  is  extremely

constituents  of  the  blood,  brain,  and  nerve  tissue.  It  is  agreeable  to  the  palate,  pleasant  to  the  eye,  and  innocent  in  its  action, 
It  is  also  non-alcoholic.  As  a  dinner  beverage  it  is  unsurpassed  as  an  agreeable  sparkling  drink ;  especially  adapted  for  the  overworked, 
"ivorried,  or  anxious  ;  for  convalescents  it  is  invaluable.  It  is  recommended  to  the  weak  and  to  the  strong  as  life-renewing  and  health- 
sustaining.  The  Faculty  speak  in  the  highest  terms  of  it ;  and  an  award  of  Honourable  Mention  has  been  given  to  it  at  the  Paris

Dr.  ED.  A.  KIRKBY,  in  his  work  on  "  The  Vahie  of  Phnspliortis,"  fays : — "  The  therapeutic  effects  of  Phosplionis  are  due  to  its  alimextahy 
properties,  and  when  employed  as  a  medicine  it  is  appropriated  as  a  food  in  building  up  and  renovating  nerve  tissue.    Phosphorus  is  a  well-known 
constituent  of  the  blood,  and  a  uever-failing  ingredient  in  the  more  important  tissues  and  fluids  of  the  body.    In  common  'with  Iron  and  Lime,  it  is  a 
very  important  alimextaiiy  principle,  and  whenever  its  supply  is  not  in  proportion  to  the  needs  of  the  economy,  deterioration  of  nervous  tissue  and 
aerve  force  is  an  inevitable  consequence."

"  ZOEDOIfE  is  no  doubt  a  very  efficient  and  pleasant  vehicle  for  the  administration  of  the  but  httle  soluble  phosphate  of  iron." — Lancet. 
Dr.  WOOD  says  :— "  As  a  nutrient  tonic  to  the  nervous  system,  and  in  all  oases  of  nervous  exhaustion,  the  use  o  Phosphorus  is  commended  by 
reason  aud  by  experience." 

"  I  have  carefully  examined  a  sample  of  the  New  Aerated  Mineral  Water,  manufactured  by  Messrs.  Evans  &  Co.,  and  to  whicli  they  have  given  the  name 
of  ZOESOITZi.  I  find  tlie  statement  made  respecting  its  composition  to  be  fully  borne  out  by  the  analysis.  The  ZOESSOBJE  is  a  bright, 
SPARKLING,  and  VERY  pleasant  beverage,  quite  free  from  any  medicinal  taste;  indeed,  it  forms  a  most  agreeable  and  elegant  vehicle  for  the  adminis-

Tills  Filter  is  speciaUy  adapted  for  rain  water,  and 
also  for  very  hard  or  muddy  water.  The  second 
medium  being  protected  by  a  slab,  no  water  can 
possibly  reach  it  until  after  passing  through  the 
first  medium.  By  this  means  a  double  process  of 
filtration  is  effected,  whilst  at  the  same  time  the 
impurities  contained  in  the  water  are  deposited  on 
the  slab,  and  may  be  easily  cleansed  away  with  a 
sponge.

PRIZE  MEDALS :— LONDON,  1851  axd  18G2 ;  OPORTO,  1865;  PARIS,  1867. 

By  appointment,  Sole  Purveyor  to  Her  Most  Gracious 
Majesty  Victoria,  Queen  of  Great  Britain  &  Ireland; 
Their  Royal  Highnesses  the  Prince  and  Princess 


of  Wales  ;

Lewis,    King    of    Portugal ;    H.I.H.  Frederick 
William,  Prince  Imperial  of  Germany. 


In  consequence  of  increasing  inquiries  from  the  Colonies  for  my  Eau  de  Cologne,  the  only  genuine,  I 
beg  to  submit  my  Price  Current. 

At  the  same  time  I  beg  to  call  special  attention  to  the  following  facsimile  of  my  Trade  Mark,  for  the 
protection  of  which  I  have  instituted  thirteen  suits  in  the  High  Court  of  Chancery,  all  of  which  have  been 
decided  in  my  favour. 


All  similar  Labels  being  more  or  less  imitations  of  the  same,  I  shall  proceed  as  before  against  all  persons 
selling  or  exposing  for  sale  any  such  imitations. 

I  only  prepare  one  quality  of  Eau  de  Cologne.  This  quality  never  varies  in  the  slightest  degree,  and  there 
has  not  been  the  smallest  change  in  the  manufacture  since  the  year  1709,  when  it  was  invented  by  my  ancestor. 

Orders  equal  to  at  least  12  dozen  short  bottles  will  be  promptly  executed  at  12s.  M.  per  dozen,  against  my 
bill  drawn  at  three  months  from  the  date  of  invoice,  delivered  free  on  board  the  export  ship,  at  Rotterdam, 
Antwerp,  Hamburg,  or  Bremen,  no  charge  being  made  for  the  case  and  packing,  but  insurance  charged  extra. 
7^  per  cent,  discount  is  allowed  for  orders  equal  to  at  least  100  dozen,  but  on  no  smaller  quantities. 

I  may  add  that,  as  I  do  not  draw  on  the  Colonies,  all  Orders  must  be  accompanied  by  a  credit  on  some 
London  House,  or  permission  to  draw  on  same  at  three  months. 

The  Goods  can  also  be  shipped  in  transit  through  London  at  a  very  small  additional  expense,  fuU  particulars 
of  which  may  be  obtained  of  my  Sole  Agents  for  Great  Britain  and  Ireland : —

e  plaintiff.s'  solicitors  in  the  case  of  Apothecaries'  Society 
's^hepperley  have  given  formal  notice  to  the  defendant 
!t  they  will  abandon  their  appeal  in  that  case. 

/O-operative  stores  and  retail  traders  have  occupied  a  good 
1  of  public  attention  during  the  past  month.  The  new 
,  'gy  Supply  Stores  have  been  severely  condemned  by  some 
jjiential  dignitaries  of  the  Church.  The  Army  and  Navy 
\es  have  tried  to  prevent  a  new  company  from  using  the 
"  The  Junior  Army  and  Navy  Stores,"  but  the  Master 
e  Rolls  dismissed  their  application  rather  contemptu- 
If  they  professed  not  to  deal  with  the  public  pro- 
li^uously,  they  had  no  reason  to  assert  that  any  harm 
c©d  be  done  to  them.  Besides,  they  had  no  exclusive 
lit  to  the  term  "  Army  and  Navy."       .      •     ■  - 

i'"ie  Pharmaceutical  Council  has  "  unanimously  "  agreed 
jirtain  recommendations  which  are  intended  to  improve 
tb<Pharmacy  Act ;  but  these  are  at  present  kept  secret.  It 
is  obable  that  a  Bill  will  be  drafted,  and  if  possible  passed 
dtiig  the  Parliamentary  session  just  opened.  It  is  a  pity 
tMiunanimity  could  not  have  been  secured  before.  The 
chspe  of  passing  a  Bill  not  introduced  before  April— and 
tif;  is  not  much  chance  of  this  one  getting  into  .shape  till 
the -is  tolerably  remote  :  at  any  rate,  if  the  Bill  is  to  have 
anjierious  effect. 

J  arly  .0,000  persons  had  been  conditionally  registered 
unci-  the  Dentists  Act  by  the  end  of  1878.  The  Uritish 
Mei^-al  Journal  has  asserted  that  these  will  be  exempt  from 
jur.'iervice.  This  statement,  we  believe,  is  incorrect.  All 
re  stored  medical  practitioners  "  are  exempt,  but  section 


27  of  the  Dentists  Act  provides  that  "a  certificate  under 
this  Act  shall  not  confer  any  right  or  title  to  be  registered 
under  the  Medical  Act,  1858." 

Tlie  Board  of  Trade  has  announced  in  a  letter  to  the 
Peterborough  magistrates  that  half -hundred  and  hundred 
weights  must  bear  not  only  the  figures  56  and  112,  but  also 
the  sign  "  lb."  or  the  word  "  pounds."  Old  weights  without 
these  cannot  be  used. 

We  are  able  to  publish  an  important  paper  by  Mr.  Kobbius, 
of  New  York,  of  the  firm  of  McKesson  &  Bobbins,  on  Quinine. 
Some  experiments  referred  to  by  Mr.  Robbins  show  that 
English-made  quinine  can  pay  the  20  per  cent.  Customs 
duty  on  entering  the  United  States,  and  can  then  compete 
successfully  with  the  native  product.  Samples  of  English 
and  American  unbleached,  bought  at  the  same  price,  were 
tested,  and  the  English  stood  the  trial  better  than  the 
American  specimens. 

Diagrams  are  presented,  on  pages  CO  and  Gl,  showing  the 
course  of  the  opium  market  during  the  past  20  years,  the 
monthly  fluctuations  being  indicated. 

An  attempt  to  revive  the  prosecution  of  chemists  for 
selling  as  milk  of  sul^Dhur  the  article  containing  lime  has 
been  made  at  Guildford  by  Mr.  Angell,  the  borough  analyst. 
The  magistrates  dismissed  the  case.  A  grocer  and  a  chemist 
were,  however,  fined  for  selling  sublimed  sulphur  for  milk 
of  sulphur. 

The  Chemists'  Assistants'  Association  celebrated  its  first 
year  of  existence  by  a  dinner,  at  the  Holborn  Restaurant,  on 
January  29,  when  about  70  sat  down,  including  several 
gentlemen  of  eminence  in  the  pharmaceutical  world. 

The  centenary  of  the  birth  of  Sir  Humphry  Davy,  tlie 
eminent  chemist,  was  commemorated  at  Penzance  on 
February  13  and  14.  The  chief  featm-es  were  an  exhibition 
of  scientific  apparatus,  &c.,  mainly  from  South  Kensington, 
at  St.  John's  Hall  and  the  Public  Buildings,  and  a  series  of 
lectm'es  on  scientific  subjects. 

Mr.  Holloway  has  advertised  in  some  South  American 
papers  advertisements  stating  that  a  Mr.  Samper,  of  Bogota, 
Colombia,  was  importing  spurious  imitations  of  his  pills  and 
ointment  from  America.  Mr.  Samper  declares  he  has  not 
done  so,  and  brought  an  action  against  Mr.  Holloway  to 
compel  him  to  stop,  or  at  least  to  alter,  the  advertisements. 
Tins  was  agreed  to.  It  was  stated  by  Mr.  Holloway's 
counsel  that  profits  of  50,000?.  a  year  are  made  by  him, 
40,000/.  of  which  are  spent  in  advertising. 

Mr.  Fairlie,  of  Glasgow,  who  has  taken  a  prominent  part 
in  pharmaceutical  politics,  serving  both  on  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  Trade  Association  and  on  the  Council  of 
the  Pharmaceutical  Society,  suddenly  disappeared  last  week. 
His  assets  are  considerably  less  than  his  liabilities. 

Mr.  Eno  has  again  established  his  claim  to  the  title 
"Fruit  Salt,"  or  any  term  of  a  similar  character,  and  has 
restrained  Mr.  Stephens,  a  chemist  of  Hereford,  from 
registering  as  a  trade-mark  a  design  somewhat  resembling 
his  own. 

Mr.  Beatson,  chemical  manufacturer,  of  Sheffield,  has  been 
sentenced  to  18  months'  imprisonment,  with  hard  labour,  for 
inducing  a  Mr.  Mycock  to  invest  5,000/.  in  his  business  on 
false  representations. 

A  chemist's  apprentice  at  Nottingham  left  his  master  when 
he  came  of  age,  as  he  was  legally  entitled  to  do,  but  his 
indentures  did  not  expire  for  another  year.  The  master 
summoned  the  father  and  the  apprentice  for  the  value  of 
the  youth's  services,  and  he  obtained  15/.

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 


[February  15, 1879. 


|1barm;u; 


Discussion  on  Watee  Analysis. 

A  VERY  crowded  assembly  at  the  rooms  of  the  Chemical 
Society  in  Burlington  House  bore  witness  to  the  interest 
felt  in  the  discussion  of  Dr.  Tidy's  recent  paper  on  "  Water 
Analysis.*'  The  meeting  was  held  on  Thursday  night, 
February  C,  Dr.  Gladstone  being  in  the  chair.  Previous  to 
the  debate  a  number  of  names  of  candidates  for  admission 
to  fellowship  were  duly  read  out,  and  tlie  long  row  of  ballot 
boxes,  each  surmounted  by  the  certificate  of  the  apj^licant, 
were  arranged  in  a  continuous  line  across  the  lecture  table. 
The  whole  of  the  candidates  were  elected,  forming  a  strik- 
ing contrast  to  the  unpleasantness  of  feeling  which  once 
unhappily  prevailed.  Dr.  Frankland,  in  the  absence  of  Mr. 
Ililey,  opened  the  discussion,  and  while  bearing  testimony 
to  the  value  and  laborious  character  of  the  researches  of  Dr. 
Tidy,  yet  observed  that  there  were  certain  details  fairly  open 
to  criticism.  Professor  Wanklyn  would  not  enter  upon  any 
strictures  on  the  paper  itself,  but  would  rather  give  his  views 
on  the  general  question  of  water  analysis.  In  doing  so  he 
commented  on  the  far  greater  accuracy  obtained  by  the 
albuminoid  ammonia  process  adopted  by  himself  and  others, 
and  those  which  in  his  oi^inion  could  be  got  by  the  method 
pursued  ])y  Dr.  Frankland.  Several  speakers  followed, 
chiefly  insisting  on  the  importance  of  absolute  purity  in  the 
reagents  employed  in  the  analysis  of  potable  water.  It  was 
objected  to  Dr.  Tidy  that  he  had  not  specified  in  his  experi- 
ments a  standardised  permanganate,  though  this  could 
easily  be  effected  by  means  of  oxalic  acid  ;  that  he  had  laid 
too  great  stress  upon  colour  as  a  test  of  jjurity,  and  specially 
that  he  had  been  needlessly  alarmed  about  the  loss  of  solid 
particles  during  the  ordinarj'  process  of  evaporation.  At  a  very 
late  hour  indeed  Dr.  Tidy  rose  to  reply,  and  though  he  seemed 
personally  aggrieved  with  certain  remarks  that  had  been 
made,  his  answer,  brief  though  it  was,  proved  remarkably 
effective.  He  was  glad  that  he  had  been  the  means  of  exciting 
GO  animated  a  discussion  on  an  important  branch  of  analysis. 
Some  suggestions  offered  that  night  were  most  useful,  and 
ihey  clearly  pointed  out  difficulties  which  would  want  con- 
sideration, and  could  not  be  answered  off-hand.  Witli 
regard  to  colour  testing  he  had  been  misunderstood.  He 
used  it  only  as  an  adjunct,  as  a  serviceable  general  indica- 
tion, and  by  no  mean,s  as  a  conclusive  test.  With  regard  to 
the  danger  of  loss  of  solid  particles,  caused  by  the  evapora- 
tion of  a  liquid,  his  opinion  was  as  strong  as  ever.  He  had 
originally  alluded  to  lead,  and  had  asked  the  question.  How 
could  the  solid  particles  of  lead  be  conveyed  from  a  painted 
wall  so  as  to  cause  disease,  but  upon  the  theory  that  they 
were  disengaged  by  evaporation  ?  Instances  of  the  same 
'kind  might  be  enumerated,  and  he  might  as  fairly  theorise 
that  these  particles  were  so  disengaged,  though  the  eye  could 
not  appreciate  the  separation,  as  that  Dr.  Frankland  should 
attribute  the  unhealthiness  of  waters  to  germs,  which 
as  such  could  not  be  demonstrated  by  the  microscope. 
Dr.  Frankland  liad  remarked  upon  the  classification  of 
waters,  and  that  they  might  be  arranged  into  con- 
venient divisions  according  to  a  fixed  standard  of  purity 
.or  impurity.  He  (Dr.  Frankland)  was  disposed  to 
make  some  alterations  in  the  classification  that  liad 
been  suggested.  Dr.  Tidy  was  sure  that  on  this  point 
they  would  be  agreed,  that  while,  as  a  matter  of  con- 
venience, a  clas.siiicai  ion  might  be  advocated,  any  hard  and 
fast  line  in  this  direction  was  to  be  deprecated. 

Dr.  Phipson,  in  a  note  to  the  Chemical  I\'en\i,  has  well 
■expressed  the  same  idea,  at  the  same  time  congratulating 
Dr.  Tidj  on  the  good  Service  he  has  done  in  drawing  atten- 


tion to  the  most  accurate  methods  to  be  adopted  in  water 
analj-sis.  "  For  many  years  past  our  text-books,  both  English 
and  foreign,  have  stated  that  when  the  total  impurities  of  a 
sample  of  water  reach  beyond  a  certain  figure  the  water  is 
to  be  condemned.  The  fact  is,  we  possess  at  present  no 
positive  data  whereby  to  condemn  a  sample  of  drinking 
water,  and  cannot  possess  such  data  until  physiological 
experiments  have  been  made  to  prove  when  and  why  a 
given  kind  of  water  is  bad  or  good.  In  most  cases  it  is  no* 
difficult  to  prove  a  water  good  for  drinking,  but  quite  the 
reverse  to  establish  that  it  is  injurious  to  health,  or  un- 
wholesome, unless  it  be  very  bad  indeed."  Dr.  Tidy's 
original  paper,  entitled,  "  The  Processes  for  Determining 
the  Organic  Purity  of  Potable  Waters,"  is  published  in  full 
in  tlie  January  number  of  the  Chemical  Journal. 


Bed  and  White  Wines. 
Some  time  ago  we  were  engaged  in  translating  and  sum- 
marising an  elaborate  French  report  on  the  consumption  and 
comparative  effects  of  red  and  white  wines.  The  matter 
was  not  of  sufficient  pharmaceutical  interest  to  warrant  re- 
production except  as  regards  one  point,  which  has  always 
seemed  a  mystery.  Universal  experience  proves  that  white 
wines  are  decidedly  more  deleterious  than  the  red  variety— 
this  assertion  is  confirmed  abundantly  by  statistics  and  from 
a  mass  of  private  information  obtained  from  wine-producing 
countries.  Having  tresjiassed  considerably  upon  the  kind- 
ness of  correspondents  relative  to  this  matter,  we  have 
received  but  one  reply,  in  the  shape  of  the  strongest  support 
of  the  opinion  that  white  wines  were  to  be  used  with  the 
greatest  degree  of  caution.  The  subject  has  been  revived 
in  the  Sjfcctato?;  and  a  reason  has  been  given  for  the  dif- 
ference in  effect  which  can  be  appreciated  by  our  readers. 
Bed  wines  are  rich  in  tannin  :  white  wines  are  not :  ^the 
natural  inference  being  that  the  astringent  principle  present 
forms  a  counteraction  to  the  stimulating  influence  of  the 
alcohol  contained.

Botany  in  Italy. 

The  communication  of  Mr.  Thomas  Hanbury  which  dates 
from  Mortold,  near  Mentone,  is  sufficient  to  drive  an  English 
botanist  to  the  verge  of  desperation.  The  beautiful  garden 
which  is  his  projjerty  has  fortunately  escaped  too  much 
drought  and  excess  of  sunshine.  We  have  not  as  a  rule 
been  troubled  with  a  too  abundant  continuance  of  the  latter, 
and,  indeed,  have  had  reason  to  be  sceptical  concerning  that 
decimal  fraction  of  the  sun's  rays  with  which  we  are  credite||^ 
in  official  meteorological  reports.  The  Italian  soil  having 
been  visited  with  a  greater  amount  of  rain  than  usual,  a 
beneficial  influence  has  resulted,  so  that  on  January  1,  1879, 
no  less  than  160  plants,  and  of  some  many  varieties,  were 
growing  and  in  flower,  in  the  open  air  in  the  grounds  of  the 
Palazzo  Orengo.  On  December  12  the  country  down  to  the 
seashore  was  covered  with  snow  ;  the  temperature  showed 
two  or  three  degrees  of  frost,  but  no  plant  could  be  discovered 
which  had  been  killed  by  the  cold. 

Mr.  Hanbury  gives  for  the  first  time  in  print  an  amusing 
though  most  vexatious  occurrence,  which  happened  to  a 
friend,  a  zealous  botanical  collector.  Arriving  at  the 
Custom-house,  on  the  frontier,  many  specimens  of  plants 
collected  and  dried  in  the  South  of  France  "  were  taken 
out  of  the  pressing  paper,  pounded  up  to  powder,  and  then 
burnt.  His  intense  disgust  was  not  lessened  the  next  day 
by  observing  that  the  Custom-house  officers  allowed  a  much 
larger  lot  of  dried  plants,  to  wit,  a  load  of  hay  for  horses,  to 
pass  from  France  to  Italy  without  comment."    It  woul<i

have  been  well  if  the  authorities  had  acted  upon  the  motto 
of  Talleyrand,  Pas  trap  de  zelc.  These  wonderful  precau- 
tions were  taken  with  a  view  of  preventing  the  arrival  of 
that  dreaded  wine-pest,  Phylloxera.  It  may  be  a  private 
consolation  to  the  disappointed  botanist  to  feel  that  his 
plants  would  have  been  in  good  preservation  had  he  been 
allowed  to  retain  them  in  his  possession.  In  the  month  of 
November  last  we  received  a  promised  collection  of  j^lants, 
mosses,  ferns,  and  creepers,  which  are  luxuriant  in  a  certain 
district  in  Burmah.  They  had  not  been  properly  pressed  and 
dried,  and  hence  arrived  at  their  destination  as  a  heap  of 
decayed  vegetation.  Bad  preparation  may  be  placed  on  a 
[par  with  the  most  destructive  official  superintendence.

The  Number  of  Members. 

The  Registrar's  report  was  presented,  showing  that 'the 

tal  number  of  names  on  the  register  was  13,309 
T  this  year,  or  11  less  than  last  year.  The  number  of 
iimembers "  of  the  Society  was,  in  all,  35  less  than  last 
kax  ;  "associates  not  in  business  "  were  fewer  by  24  ;  "ap- 

entices "  were  14  to  the  debit.  On  the  otlier  side  was 
•iiown  an  accession  of  strength  in  the  "associates  in  busi- 
:)ss,"  that  is,  those  who  pass  the  Minor  Examination  and 
in  the  Society.  These,  after  deducting  deaths,  secessions, 
}..,  show  a  gain  of  85  to  the  Society,  the  net  result  being  a 

in  of  12  in  the  Society's  strength.  Tlie  President  re- 
-irked  that  not  nearly  all  those  who  passed  the  Minor 
'famination  joined  the  Society,  and  it  was  a  question 
liether  the  inducement  offered,  of  being  an  associate  only, 

,s  sufficient. 

An  Opportunity  for  Benevolence. 

Kn  the  report  of  the  Committee  of  this  fund  a  case  was 
I'ntioned  towards  which  tlie  Committee  had  voted  5QI., 
l';  for  which  further  assistance  was  much  needed.  The 
fher,  who  had  been  in  business  many  years,  and  as 
aociate  and  member  connected  witli  the  Society  for  many 
Ejre  until  the  time  of  his  death,  died  last  Christmas  Day 
olutely  insolvent,  leaving  four  children  without  mother 
lO'relations  of  any  kind  upon  whom  they  could  depend  for 
S'port.  Kind  neighbours  took  the  children  in  to  give 
tlim  temporary  shelter  until  some  jsrovision  could  be  made 
f<  their  future  maintenance.  The  youngest  child  liad  since 
b  n  adopted  by  a  benevolent  chemist  in  the  neighbour- 
h  d;  the  eldest  was  a  little  girl  of  11,  very  intelligent,  so 
n'ch  so,  in  fact,  that  for  some  time  during  her  fatlier's  last  ill- 
Hs  she  had  acted  as  a  kind  of  assistant,  and  served  in  the 
'  sip.  There  was  some  idea  of  sending  her  to  an  asjdum  in 
Bijtol,  but  it  was  thought  by  those  who  took  an  interest  in 
tl  case  that  it  would  be  a  pity  to  do  so  if  it  could  be 
a\  ded.  A  Mr.  Bourdon  had  taken  the  eldest  boy,  and 
m  ht  keep  him  if  some  assistance  were  given  him.  The 
nt:  boy  was  at  present  in  a  temporary  place  of  refuge,  and 


some  permanent  home  must  be  found  for  him.  It  was  sug- 
gested that  15Z.  should  be  give  to  each  of  the  first  three,  and 
51.  to  the  youngest  one,  and  the  Council  was  reminded 
that  unless  friends  came  forward  in  some  special  way  to 
provide  for  tliese  children  a  large  sum  would  be  required 
for  them  in  future.  Several  members  spoke  of  the  genuine- 
ness of  this  case,  and  Mr.  Bobbins  mentioned  that  what  was 
especially  desired  in  publishing  the  case  was  to  find  some 
one  who  would  take  the  third  little  boj-  with  or  without  a 
premium. 

Lady  Students. 
Professor  Attfield  reported  that  two  ladies  were  now 
among  his  pujoils  in  the  laboratory,  and  that  no  in  con 
venience  resulted. 

Votes  of  Thanks 

Were  passed  to  Professor  Redwood  for  his  able  lectures  on 
the  Electric  Light,  which  the  President  said  were  tlie  most 
instructive  lectures  he  had  heard  on  the  subject,  and  to 
the  reporters  on  the  Paris  Exliibition,  who  had  performed 
their  duties  in  a  very  able  and  interesting  way. 

The  Perfidious  Journal. 

Mr.  Hampson  commented  on  tlie  spirit  shown  by  the 
editor  of  the  lournal  in  omitting  to  notice  prominently  the 
abandonment  of  the  appeal  in  the  Shepperley  case.  Several 
other  members  of-  the  Council  supported  Jlr.  Hampson,  but 
the  President  saw  nothing  to  complain  of. 

Pharmacy  Act  Amendment. 

A  long  discussion  took  place  on  the  report  which  had  been 
prepared  by  the  Committee  appointed  to  investigate'  the 
Pharmacy  Act  with  a  view  to  its  amendment,  but  this  dis- 
cussion took  place  in  secret.  The  report  and  recommenda- 
tions as  amended  were  unanimously  adopted,  and  Mr. 
Hampson  gave  notice  that  he  would  move  for  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  committee  to  draft  a  Bill  and  carry  it  through 
Parliament  if  possible. 


Cbcmists'  ^ssisfanfi'  ^ssociatioir. 

ON  Wednesday,  January  8,  Mr.  Parker  read  a  paper  on 
"  Pyrogenous  Products,"  before  the  above  Association, 
at  its  rooms,  32A  George  Street,  Hanover  Square.  The 
author  defined  the  pyrogenous  products  of  his  paper  as  the 
svibstances  produced  by  the  destructive  distillation  of  wood, 
coal,  bone,  horn,  and  organic  acids  and  bases.  From  this 
will  be  seen  the  wide  ground  travelled  over,  the  subject 
being  treated  throughout  in  a  very  clear,  complete,  and 
interesting  manner.  Specially  alluded  to  were  the  various 
wood  and  coal  tars,  phenol,  creasote,  aniline,  &c.  It  was 
stated  as  worthy  of  more  general  notice  that  phenol  in  crea- 
sote may  be  easily  and  certainly  detected  by  the  addition  of 
bromine-water,  which  causes  a  precipitat'c  of  tri-bromo- 
phenol. 

A  discussion  having  followed,  a  vote  of  thanks  was  unani- 
mously passed  to  the  author  for  his  elaborate  f  aper. 

On  January  22  Mr.  J.  McKnight  read  a  paper  on  the 
"Past  and  Present  Condition  of  Chemists'  Assistants." 
Glancing  hastily  at  the  past,  Mr.  McKnight  considered 
whether,  in  hours  of  business,  social  and  financial  position, 
chemists'  assistants  could  compare  favourably  with  other 
professions  and  trades,  seeing  the  present  bettered  condition 
of  many  trades.  On  all  these  points  Mr.  McKnight  was 
rather  despondent. 

Several  members  supported  the  author  of  the  paper ; 
others,  however,  including  a  gentleman  from  France, 
challenged  his  views.  Ultimately  the  discussion,  which  was 
conducted  throughout  with  moderation  and  fairness,  was 
adjourned  to  February  5. 

The  Association  is  certainly  to  be  congratulated  on  the 
success  of  its  first  annual  dinner,  which  was  held  in  the 
Prince's  Saloon  of  the  Holborn  Restaurant,  on  Wednesdaj-, 
January  29,  at  8.30  P.M.  Mr.  J.  E.  Stuart  (Dinneford  &  Co.) 
was  in  the  chair.  More  than  70  sat  down,  and  the  evening- 
was  very  enjoyable.  Among  the  visitors  were  Professors 
Bentley  and  Redwood,  Drs.  Muter  and  Stocker,  Messrs. 
Moss,  Postans,  and  Wills,  &c.,  &c.    Dr.  H.  Dobell  and  Mr.  A.

RASHES  PRODUCED  BY  DRUGS  IN  DAILY 
USE. 


THERE  are  certain  well-known  and  constantly-used 
drugs  which  give  rise  to  cutaneous  eruptions,  wliicharc 
very  alarming  to  patients  and  puzzling  to  those  administer- 
ing the  offending  agent ;  unless  they  are  quite  prepared  for 
such  a  result ;  hence  it  is  of  the  greatest  importance  tliat  all 
who  have  to  do  with  the  administration  of  medicine  should 
be  able  to  recognise  such  rashes,  and  so  allay  at  once  all 
an.xicty. 

To  classify  somewliat  wo  must  place  tliese  remedies  under 
two  categories: — 1.  Those  which  produce  their  eilccts  by 
internal  administration  ;  2.  Those  which  give  rise  to  irrita- 
tion by  outward  application.  In  the  former  we  place  arsenic, 
iodine,  iodide  of  potassium,  bromide  of  potassium,  bella- 
donna, hj'oscyamus,  copaiba,  chloral.  Under  the  second 
licading  we  group  iodide  of  starch,  arnica,  sulphur,  cliryso- 
plianicacid,  and  croton  oil.  Tar  comes  under  both  headings, 
for  if  given  internall}',  it  not  only  causes  great  irritation  of 
skin,  but  other  and  apparently  more  alarming  general 
symptoms,  and  used  too  frequently  externally  it  gives  rise 
to  acne:  Neumann  found  tliat  in  tar  manufactories  the 
workmen  suffered  from  this  form  of  disease  owing  to  the 
local  action  of  the  tar  vapour. 

It  must  not  be  for  a  moment  supposed  that  these  drugs 
will  always  produce  such  effects  whenever  and  to  whomso- 
ever given,  for  as  a  matter  of  fact  there  are  all  grades  of 
liability — some,  no  matter  how  large  the  dose,  never  suffer 
at  all ;  others  again  can  take  a  moderate  dose  without  any 
bad  result ;  others  again  are  susceptible  to  the  smallest  dose, 
and  so  much  is  this  the  case  that  such  persons  cannot  take 
the  offending  drug  in  any  shape  at  all. 

We  will  commence  with  chloral.  This  drug  has  been  and 
still  is  so  largely  used  that  it  is  well  to  be  aware  of  the 
fact  that  it  may  produce  redness  of  conjuuctiv:v  and  also  of 
face  (erythema).  Dr.  Oscar  Uebreich  seems  to  refer  such 
a  result  to  impurities.  In  the  case  he  mentions  he  demon- 
strated that  the  symptoms  mentioned  were  due  to  admixture 
of  chlorine. 

Copaiba  comes  next  and  produces  a  most  ))uzzling  rash, 
sometimes  covering  the  whole  body,  and  giving  rise  to  a 
suspicion  of  measles,  but  there  is  no  rise  in  temperatm-e,  no 
running  at  eyes  and  nose,  no  crescent ic  outline  of  rash, 
general  liealth  not  affected.  There  is  usually  much  itching, 
and  the  eruption  resembles  that  of  nettle-rash,  but  without 
.any  wheals,  and  then  of  course  there  is  the  fact  that  the 
patient  has  been  taking  the  drug,  and  most  probably  a  still 
further  history  of  gonorrhoea.  Dr.  Tilbury  Fox  mentions 
that  he  has  seen  one  part  of  the  rash  like  measles  and 
anotlier  like  scarlatina,  but  this  condition  was  an  early  one. 

Henbane,  in  the  form  of  leaves,  taken  by  mistake  has  given 
rise  to  a  red  rash  like  scarlatina,  but  this  is  a  single  case, 
and  the  same  has  not  been  recorded  of  any  of  the  officinal 
preparations,  so  that  in  any  doubtful  case  it  would  be  enough 
to  discover  that  henbane  had  been  administered. 


Belladonna  ijroduces  a  rash  like  that  of  scarlet  fever,  with 
even  fever  and  dry  throat,  and  thus,  on  the  principle  similict 
simiUbus  curantw,  has  secured  an  important  jjlace  in  the 
homoeopathic  jiharmacopceia  as  a  certain  cure  for  scarlet 
fever.  There  will,  in  such  cases,  be  dilated  pupiils,  absence 
of  severe  or  well-marked  mischief  about  throat,  and 
generally  no  history  of  exposure  to  infection,  and  mostly 
occurring  in  adults  under  treatment  for  some  other  disease. 

Arsenic,  like  tar,  really  belongs  to  both  categories,  for 
when  handled,  as  in  artificial  flower-making,  it  causes 
excoriations  of  the  hands,  and  when  used  as  a  dye  in  socks, 
gloves,  or  any  article  worn  next  the  skin,  it  is  apt  to  cause 
eczema.  In  these  cases  the  occupation  of  the  affected  one, 
or  the  fact  of  wearing  any  article  with  brilliant  green  tint, 
would  prevent  mistakes.  Given  internally  it  may  cause 
redness  of  skin  or  even  eczema,  although  this  last  is  rare. 
It  has  been  said  also  to  induce  an  attackof  shingles,  but  this 
seems  somewhat  doubtful. 

Iodine  and  its  effects  on  tlie  skin  may  best  be  studied  iu 
the  form  in  which  it  is  most  largely  administered,  as  a  com- 
pound with  potassium.  The  iodide  of  potash  gives  rise  to  acne 
when  given  in  a  large  dose,  or  even  a  very  small  dose  with 
some  people.  The  peculiarity  about  the  rash  is  that  it  comes 
often,  comes  out  in  isolated  pimples,  especially  about  the 
face,  neck,  shoulders,  and  back,  and  as  the  tirst  batch  fades 
away  so  there  appears  a  fresh  pimple  here  and  there,  and 
this  may  go  on  for  weeks  or  months,  so  long  as  the  patient  is 
taking  the  drug,  without  giving  rise  to  any  serious  discom- 
fort. As  a  rule  there  is  not  much  itching,  and  the  chief 
annoyance  is  in  the  disfiguring  effect  produced.  It  is  well 
to  remember  that  this  rash  may  appear  without  any  of  the 
symptoms  of  iodism,  such  as  pain  in  head,  running  from  eyes 
and  nose,  and  suffusion  of  conjunctive. 

This  drug  may  produce  a  vesicular  or  bulbous  eruption. 
Such  cases  have  been  recorded  by  Drs.  Tilbury  Fox, 
Broadbent,  and  others.  It  may  give  rise  also  to  purpura, 
and  even  to  a  fatal  result,  as  the  following  case  recorded  by 
Dr.  Stephen  Mackenzie  in  the  "  Transactions  of  the  Royal 
Medical  and  Chirurgical  Society  "  : — 

"  An  infant  aged  five  months,  with  well-marked  con- 
genital S3^philis,  had  prescribed  for  it  a  mixture  containing 
iodide  of  potassium  in  2^-grain  doses.  In  three-quarters 
of  an  hour  after  taking  the  first  and  only  dose  the  child's 
face  was  noticed  t#  '  turn  black,'  and,  as  this  increased, 
the  child  was  brought  to  the  hospital  three  hours  after 
taking  the  medicine.  When  first  seen  the  whole  of  the  face 
was  swollen,  of  a  purplish-black  tint,  eyelids  closed  from 
extravasated  blood,  lips  and  chin  tensely  swollen,  and  of  an 
almost  black  colour.  The  cheeks  were  discoloured  by 
aggregated  patches  of  purpura.  There  were  a  few  spots  on 
each  arm,  but  more ,  elsewhere.  A  few  abortive  pustules 
were  scattered  over  the  body.  AVhile  the  patient  was 
watched  the  purpuric  patches  perceptibly  increased  in  size, 
until  in  the  course  of  an  hour  or  so  the  scalp  and  face  were 
fairly  covered.  Next  day  the  whole  face  was  swollen,  and  of  a 
port-wine  colour,  and  there  were  purpuric  spots  on  both 
arms  and  legs.  The  extravasated  blood  underwent  some 
changes  of  colour,  and  parts  of  the  skin  of  the  face  became 
necrosed  in  the  course  of  this  and  following  day.  The 
child  died  in  68  hours,  and  analysis  proved  the  medicine 
free  from  iodine,  and  made  it  certain  that  the  child  had  not 
taken  more  than  2^  grains." 

Bromide  of  potash  also  produces  a  rash  similar  to  that  of 
the  iodide,  but  when  the  two  salts  are  ,  combined  they  give 
rise  to  a  more  serious  and  disfiguring  result.  At  a  meeting 
of  the  Clinical  Society  on  February  8,  1878,  Dr.  Crocker 
brought  forward  a  somewhat  rare  form  of  bromide  eruption 
in  this  country,  but  which  seems  more  common  in  France, 
where  the  drug  is  extensively  used,  and  in  large  doses. 
Dr.  Crocker  thus  describes  the  case :— The  patient  was  a  man 
aged  49,  suffering  from  paralysis,  and  had  been  taking  lOgrains 
of  bromide  with  5  of  iodide,  three  times  daily,  for  nearly  a 
month,  when  an  acneiform  eruption  began  to  appear  on  the 
face.  The  rash  commenced  on  January  23,  and  he  was  seen 
by  Dr.  Crocker  on  February  0.  On  each  cheek  there  was  a 
raised  patch  the  size  of  a  crown  piece,  of  a  dull  livid  red 
colour,  boggy,  and  covered  by  a  scab,  whilst  at  its  margins 
were  several  yellowish  points,  exuding  pus,  epithelium,  ana 
sebaceous  matter.  There  were  smaller  patches  on  the  alK 
nasi.  Since  that  date  the  eruption  diminished.  No  trace 
of  iodine  or  bromine  could  be  found  in  the  urine.  Small

doses  seemed  capable  of  producing  it,  and  tlie  opinion  that 
it  was  due  to  a  special  idiosyncrasy  seemed  pretty  general, 
although,  judging  by  the  experience  in  France,  large  doses 
had  something  to  do  with  it.  The  bromide  rash  may  appear 
in  a  suckling  infant  whose  mother  is  taking  the  remedy. 
This  case  has"  been  detailed  because  it  seems  to  bring  vividly 
before  the  mind  the  disadvantages  attendant  on  the  use  of 
these  most  important  and  useful  drugs,  and  because  such  a 
case  is  more  apt  to  engage  the  attention  to  details. 

We  come  now  to  irritation  of  the  skin  by  local  remedies, 
the  rash  generally  being  due  to  their  topical  irritant  effects  ; 
but  when  these  applications  are  made  to  a  large  raw  surface, 
absorption  may  occur,  and  the  same  results  be  brought  about 
.as  by  internal  administration.  Iodide  of  starch  was  for  a 
'itime  very  fashionable  in  the  treatment  of  sores  due  to 
I  syphilis,  and  here  the  iodine  may  bo  absorbed,  and  give  rise 
to  a  sharp  attack  of  urticaria,  as  described  by  Dr.  Tilbury 
(Fox.  Arnica  may  also  give  rise  to  swelling  and  redness  of 
khe  skin,  and  it  may  be  well  to  state  here,  what  all  who  have 
had  to  do  with  the  treatment  of  wounds  must  have  noticed, 
that  even  the  mildest  applications  will  sometimes  induce 
great  local  irritation — thus,  water-dressing  applied  for  any 
jlength  of  time  will  induce  a  peculiar  rash,  causing  the  most 

intense  itching,  and  leaving  behind  a  raw  surface.  Poultices 
vill  sometimes  bring  about  the  same  rssult ;  and  we  have 
een  this  same  pustular  rash  as  tlie  outcome  of  the  anti- 
septic method  of  treating  wounds.  Sometimes  the  rash 
appears  in  a  day  or  two. 

j  Sulphur  plays  an  important  pari  in  these  rashes,  because 
|t  is  still  so  largely  used  in  the  treatment  of  scabies,  or  any 
suspicious  eruption  about  the  hands  and  wrists.  It  gives 
nse  to  a  dry  state  of  skin,  but  may  set  up  eczema,  and  then 
fhe  scratching  may  make  matters  far  worse.  It  is  not 
uncommon  for  the  irritation  produced  by  the  sulphur  oint- 
jnent  to  be  mistaken  for  the  original  disease,  and  thus  cause 
Si  more  vigorous  use  of  it,  with  the  result  of  much  aggra- 
jk'ating  the  condition  it  is  intended  to  cure. 
II  Croton  oil  is  familiar  to  all  as  a  favourite  and  powerful 
bounter-irritant.  It  gives  rise  to  a  series  of  small  pustules 
Svith  some  redness.  It  should  on  this  account  be  used  with 
;are  in  all  cases  of  delicate  or  easily- irritated  skins, 
ii  Chrysophanic  acid  ointment  has  been  much  vaunted  as  a 
remedy  for  psoriasis,  but  it  is  so  very  irritating  that  it 
Requires  great  caution  in  its  use.  The  first  case  in  which  we 
'aw  its  effects  was  in  hospital  practice.  A  woman  with 
isoriasis  about  the  arm  and  shoulder  was  told  to  apply  the 
lintment,  but  returned  much  disgusted  in  a  day  or  two  to 
[ay  that  her  linen  was  spoiled,  and  it  was  found  stained  of  a 
deep,  dark  purple  colour,  and,  in  addition,  there  was  severe 
Jrythema  extending  from  the  seat  of  disease  up  the  arm. 
The  ointment  was  discontinued,  and  the  irritation  soon 
Subsided.  In  another  case  the  ointment  was  applied  to  a 
|atch  over  the  knee ;  it  caused  erytliema  all  roiind  the  part 
mected,  and  gave  rise  to  conjunctivitis,  wliich  lasted  two 
ir  three  days,  but  in  each  case  the  local  disease  was  removed, 
jt.  is  also  said  to  turn  the  hair  a  peculiar  purplish  brown 
Int  and  to  stain  the  skin,  but  Dr.  Balmann  Squire  states 
[pat  this  may  be  removed  by  benzol. 

i  It  must  not  be  forgotten  that  most  agents  used  as  counter- 
rritants  will,  if  persisted  in  for  any  length  of  time,  and 
lore  especially  if  combined  witli  excessive  friction  by  over- 
'nxious  patients,  especially  if  advanced  in  life,  give  rise  to 
.aore  or  less  eczema. 

.  The  diagnaosis  of  these  rashes  depends  on  the  acquaintance 
t  the  observer  with  the  fact  of  their  existence  as  due  to 
emedies,  and  in  such  cases  a  careful  inquiry  into  any  pos- 
ible  use  of  sucli  drugs  will  clear  up  the  mystery. 
As  to  treatment,  in  the  majority  of  cases  it  is  simple 
nough.  At  once  cease  the  nse  of  tlie  offending  agent,  and 
he  effect  will  disappear,  but  if  this  does  not  occur  satis- 
actorily,  emollient  and  soothing  applications  should  be 
ised,  the  simpler  the  better,  such  as  sweet  oil,  simple  cerate, 
;c.^  Baths  are  often  of  great  use,  especially  in  causing  the 
jntire  removal  of  any  local  irritating  agent and  may  be 
used  warm  with  bran  or  alkalies,  but  carefully  eschewing 
he  use  of  soap. 

■  Willi  regard,  however,  to  the  two  most  important  drugs, 
idide  and  bromide  of  potassium,  it  is  often  of  the  utmost 
mportance  to  continue  their  administration,  and  often  by 
uietly  persisting  with  the  medicine  the  rash  ceases  to 
ppear,  or  only  comes  out  in  isolated  acue  spots,  which  the 


patient  does  not  mind.  In  other  cases  tlie  distress  is  so 
great,  and  the  disfigurement  so  obnoxious,  that  a  continu- 
ance of  the  remedy  is  impossible,  unless  one  can  find  some 
combination  which  will  prevent  this.  Dr.  Grimes  states  that 
in  arsenic  we  possess  the  means  of  jjreventing  the  above- 
mentioned  drawbacks — it  may  be  given  in  the  form  of 
Fowler's  solution,  in  doses  of  three  to  five  minims,  and  in. 
trou.blesome  cases  is  well  worth  a  trial.

AMEEICAN  QUININE. 


AN  important  paper  on  "  Quinine  in  Phavmac}'  and  Quinine 
in  Commerce  "  was  read  lately  hy  Mr.  Daniel  C.  Rob- 
bins,  of  the  tirm  of  McKesson  &  Robbins,  to  the  New  York 
Cjllege  of  Pharmacy,  and  as  it  contains  some  facts  not 
otherwise  readily  accessible,  we  are  glad  to  be  able  to  pub- 
lish the  report.  Mr.  Robbins  has  kindly  furnished  us  with 
the  paper. 

It  was  first  shown  that  sulphate  of  quinine  takes  prece- 
dence in  point  of  importance  over  every  other  medicine  used 
in  the  United  States.  The  first  rank  is  generallj-  assigned 
to  opium,  but  the  total  consumption  of  this  drug,  including 
its  use  as  an  intoxicant  as  well  as  a  medicine,  does  not 
exceed  220,000  lbs.  per  annum,  and  the  value  in  bond  of  this 
may  be  taken  to  average  per  lb.,  or  rather  less  than 
^1,000,000  annually.  The  yearly  consumption  of  quinine  in 
the  United  States  has  been  cumputed  at  800,000  oz.,  which, 
at  an  average  of  $2.'}0  per  oz.,  gives  a  total  of  ^2,000,000 
jDer  annum.  If  cinchona  and  all  its  alkaloids  were  taken, 
the  excessive  importance  of  that  drug  would  be  still  more 
striking. 

Quinine  Examined. 

Mr.  Robbins  then  referred  to  an  important  paper  on  the 
ether  test  for  quinine,  read  before  the  London  Pharma- 
ceutical Society  in  February,  1877.  Dr.  Paul's  paper  com- 
mences by  expressing  the  author's  opinion  that  in  using 
ether  as  a  test  for  the  purity  of  sulphate  of  quinine,  there  is 
a  great  liability  o|  overlooking  the  jiresence  of  a  very  con- 
siderable amount  of  ci/icJwnidine,  because  this  test  is  based 
upon  the  relative  solubility  of  quinine  and  cinchonidine  in 
ether,  quinine  dissolving  in  its  own  weight,  while  cinchoni- 
dine requires  from  100  to  1.50  parts  of  ether,  as  when  one 
decigramme  of  cinchonidine  sulj^hate  is  mixed  with  two 
cubic  centimetres  of  ether  and  ammonia  the  presence  of 
the  insoluble  alkaloid  is  distinct;  but  when  the  same  quan- 
tity of  cinchonidine  salt  is  mixed  with  a  large  proportion  of 
quinine  the  result  is  difi'erent,  because  the  presence  of 
quinine  increases  the  solubility  of  the  cinchonidine  in  ether, 
and  hence,  he  says,  "  I  have  come  to  the  conclusion,  as  the 
result  of  repeated  experiments,  that  the  limit  within  which 
cinchonidine  cannot  be  detected  in  quinine  is  very  much 
higher  than  is  commonly  supposed."  Dr.  Paul's  paper  then 
proceeds  to  describe  his  test  for  pure  quinine,  which  is  a 
modification  of  the  well-known  Kerner  test,  as  adopted  in 
the  German  Phai  macop<eia,  and  tables  were  submitted  giving 
the  result  of  the  examination  of  nine  samples  of  quinine  of 
ditferent  manufacture,  all  bearing  the  ether  test,  with  varia- 
tions of  from  less  than  2  to  10  per  cent. 

The  discussion  which  followed  pointed  to  the  conchision 
tliat  to  insist  upon  an  entire  separation  of  the  other  alkaloids 
of  cinchona  was  unwise,  if  not  impossible,  as  the  price  of 
quinine  would  be  cnurinouslt/  enhanced  without  adding  to 
its  therapeutical  value. 

Mr.  Robbins  recognises  tlie  value  of  Dr.  Paul's  paper  as 
showing  the  proper  value  of  the  ether  test,  but  he  adds  :- 
The  ether  feat  renxeins  att  our  heat  j)?'actieiil  test  for  the  esti- 
mation  of  hleached  and  inihleachcd  sulphate  of  quinine,  both 
of  which  should  coinj/letel//  dissolve  in  accordance  with  the 
directions  of  the  Pharinaeopwia. 

Another  important  paper  by  0.  Hesse,  of  Stuttgart,  of 
well-known  celebrity  as  a  quinologist  and  manufacturer  of 
quinine,  of  the  firm  of  Jobst  &  Co.,  has  also  recently 
appeared,  and  it  was  translated,  condensed,  and  published  in 
the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  for  June,  1878.  It  was  an 
exhaustive  and  scientific  examination  of  the  alkaloids  of 
cinchona  bark,  wliieli  are  placed  at  25  in  number,  either 
abstract  alkaloids  or  alkaloidal  variations,  as  the  result  of  - 
conditional  treatment.    Any  criticism  of  a  paper  of  this

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 


[February  15,  1879. 


sort,  outside  of  a  company  of  professional  quinologists,  is 
out-  of  place,  because  of  the  long  experience  and  attain- 
ments of  the  author.  But  it  may  be  said  that  this  paper,  in 
connection  with  Dr.  Paul's  examination,  as  a  pharmacist,  of 
the  quinine  of  commerce,  fully  shows  the  complications 
attending  any  critical  examination  of  the  slate  of  the 
cinchona  alkaloids,  while  there  are  circumstances  of  much 
interest  in  connection  with  Dr.  Paul's  essay  which  should 
be  alluded  to.  Nine  varieties,  it  is  said,  of  different  manu- 
facture of  European  quinine  were  examined  ;  and,  when  it 
is  considered  tliat  there  arc  in  all  Europe  but  10  manufac- 
turers of  note — in  England,  2  ;  in  France,  3  ;  in  Germany, 
r>;  and  in  Italy,  2  or  3 — and  tliat  the  Italian  quinines  are 
but  little  known,  it  is  only  fair  to  infer  that  these  nine 
varieties  embrace  all  tlie  brands  of  quinine  of  importance  in 
European  commerce.  This  point  leads  to  the  consideration 
of  the  quinine  commerce  in  the  United  States.  The  author 
alluded  to  tlic  history  of  the  alkaloid  from  its  discovery  by 
I'clletier  and  Caventon  in  1820.  When  he  was  apprenticed 
in  1820  it  was  just  coming  into  use  as  a  malarial  preventive, 
or  tonic,  but  more  generally  calisaj-a,  or  quinine  bark,  as  this 
variety  was  then  frc(juently  called,  was  powdered  and  pre- 
j)arcd  for  market  as  a  jiroprictary  article  in  neat  packages 
of  one,  two,  and  four  ounces,  with  directions  for  domestic 
rirejjartion  and  use,  and  extensively  sold.  But  the  new  alka- 
loid salt  worked  its  way  into  increasing  use,  and  it  made  its 
lirst  appearance  in  the  Customs  list  of  the  country  in  1832 
under  a  j/fntcrtirc  (hitij  of  15  cent,  ad  rahrcni,  in  ])lace 
<jf  .')  per  cent,  as  heretofore,  among  noii ■enumerated  articleit. 

The  demand  for  quinine  increased,  but  the  sup])lies  of 
cinchona  bark  more  than  kept  ]iacc  with  this  demand;  and 
the  price  for  quinine  sulphat'>  declined  from  several  dollars 
to  one  dollar  and  25  cents  ;  er  ounce,  when  the  Peruvian 
(iovcrnment  conceived  the  purpose  of  making  cinchona 
bark  a  Government  monopoly,  because  at  that  perijd  our 
supjjly  of  calisaya  or  quinine  bark  j'ielding  not  less  than 
2i  i)er  cent,  of  quinia  was  supplied  by  the  single  South 
American  port  of  Callao. 

At  that  period  2^  jier  cent,  was  considered  to  be  the 
minimum  at  which  cinchona  bark  ciuld  be  S'lccessfully 
treated  for  quinine  :  and  an  arrangement  .was  made  with 
[English  capitalists  for  advance  on  shipments.  The  crude 
bark  wa.s  controlled  and  so  managed  that  the  price  of  sul- 
jihat  e  of  quinine  was  gradually  advanced  in  the  American 
market  until  it  reached  per  ounce.  This  monopoly,  how- 
ever, like  most  arrangements  of  the  sort,  could  not  he  con- 
tinned  for  a  long  period.  Tiie  increased  price  brought  into 
use  better  metliods  of  process  in  manufacture  ;  and  it  was 
found  that  lower  grades  of  bark,  yielding  less  than  2  per 
cent.,  could  be  used  with  profit  for  the  manufacture  of 
(juinine.  Tiie  enormous  development  of  the  manufacture  of 
<|uinine  in  our  countr_v  dates  from  this  period,  as  our  market 
has  always  been  well  supplied  with  the  cheaper  gr.ades  of 
liark,  and  but  sparingly  with  the  more  valuable  varieties. 
At  the  present  time  it  is  usually  difficult  to  obtain,  in  the 
American  market,  cinchona  bark  that  will  yield  much  above 
2  per  cent,  of  quinine,  while  in  Europe  all  grades  yielding 
less  than  2  per  cent,  are  classed  as  low. 

Taking  the  year  1850  as  a  starting  point,  because  at  that 
jicriod  the  Government  monopol^^  of  bark,  which  has  been 
referred  to,  existed,  the  price  of  quinia  sulphate  of  American 
manufacture,  for  the  past  27  years,  has  ruled,  and  our  tariff 
alterations  have  varied,  as  follows  : —

The  most  noticeable  fact  in  this  collection  of  figures  is  tlie 


decline  which  took  place  between  1857  and  1860,  wheny 
because  of  the  imposition  of  a  duty  of  15  per  cent,  on 
sulphate  of  cjuinine  in  1857,  in  place  of  a  differential  duty 
of  only  5  per  cent,  as  between  bark  and  quinine  from  1846 
to  1857,  the  Pelletier  Company  undertook  the  manufacture 
of  quinine  in  New  York.  The  price  of  quinine  in  1856, 
when  the  differential  duty  was  5  per  cent.,  was  ^2.70,  and 
in  1857  it  ranged  from  ^2  to  ^1.40  ;  1858,  ^1.40  to  ^1.25  ; 
and  in  1860,  ^1.25  to  ^1.75.  In  1861,  when  the  French 
company  left,  it  was  ,^2,  and  in  1862  it  advanced  to  $'d,  as 
the  table  shows. 

Since  1870  the  duty  on  sulphate  of  quinine  has  been 
20  per  cent.,  and  South  American  cinchona  bark  has  been 
admitted  free,  but  all  the  other  salts  of  quinine  and  alkaloids 
of  cinchona  bark  are  still  subject  to  the  old  duties  of  45  per 
cent,  and  40  per  cent,  respectively,  as  before  1870,  when 
cinchona  bark  paid  a  revenue  duty  of  20  per  cent. ;  and 
noting  the  fact  that  bark  is  now  free,  and  considering  the 
growing  importance  of  quinidia  and  cinchonidia,  as  also- 
other  preparations  of  cinchona  which  are  coming  into  large 
use,  our  present  tariff  duty  on  all  cinchona  preparations, 
including  sulphate  of  quinine,  when  we  take  into  account 
the  altered  condition  of  the  market  for  cinchona  bark,  is  the 
most  objectionable  that  has  ever  existed  at  any  j^eriod  in  om* 
histor}'. 

The  recent  fluctuations  of  the  bark  and  quinine  markets 
were  next  illustrated  by  quotations  from  a  German 
report. 

AVithin  a  recent  period  the  price  of  cinchona  bark  has 
been  regulated  by  the  manufacturers  of  quinine,  especially 
in  the  United  States ;  but  at  present,  as  the  result  of  an- 
increased  demand  for  quinine,  and  an  inadequate  supply  of 
bark,  the  price  of  the  last  cannot  be  controlled.  Hence  we 
want  free  access  to  foreign  markets,  not  only  for  bark,  but 
for  quinine,  as  good  brands  of  European  quinine  are  not 
unfrequently  quoted  at  a  difference  of  30  to  60  cents  per 
ounce.  Manufacturers  of  quinine  can  only  contract,  or 
offer,  quinine  in  safety  when  in  possession  of  fortunate 
supplies  of  bark,  and  the  European  market  is  becoming  more 
and  more  the  best  market  for  desirable  cinchona,  especially 
for  the  cultivated  East  India  barks,  yielding  as  high  as  7  to- 
8  per  cent  of  quinia,  because  all  these  last  varieties,  of  so 
much  interest,  and  of  growing  importance,  are  subjected  by 
our  tariff  policy,  in  regard  to  navigation,  to  an  exclusive 
duty  of  10  per  cent.,  while  South  American  barks  are 
admitted  free. 

The  successful  cuJth-ation  of  cinchona  hi  the  East,  and  the 
introdiictioti  and  extensive  use  of  the  hitherto  ivaste  alkaloids 
of  cinchona,  arc  the  tn-o  most  inijm'tant  facts  within  the  rwnge 
of  our  2)ursuit. 

These  facts  call  imperatively  for  an  alteration  in  our 
Customs  laws,  and  a  better  knowledge  and  familiarity  with 
the  cinchona  barks  in  foreign  markets,  and  the  quinines  of 
foreign  manufacture,  as  there  arc  esj}eeial peculiarities  about 
our  domestic  as  well  as  foreign  quinines  that  deserve  ccamina- 
Hon  in.  pharmacy . 

The  knowledge  that  unbleached  English  sulphate  of 
quinine  does  make  a  perfect  solution  in  ether,  while  our 
American  brands  do  not,  and  that  the  quotation  for  both  for 
years  has  been  tlie  same — a  difference  of  only  25c.  per  oz. — 
while  the  labels  for  both  have  been  similar,  are  facts  that 
have  not  been  understood  until  recentlj-. 

The  advertisements  of  several  firms,  that  they  use,  in  the 
manufacture  of  their  preparations,  only  American  quinine 
and  white  pure  bleached  quinine,  are  simply  ridiculous. 
Why  should  any  vegetable  alkaloid  be  subjected  to  a 
bleaching  process  ?  and  whj^  should  American  quinine  be 
superior  to  foreign,  as  it  is  well  known  that  the  latter  is 
more  usually  the  product  of  the  better  barks  of  commerce? 
And  where  is  the  superior  knowledge  of  process  ?  and  where 
can  an  American  quinologist  of  repute  be  found?  are  ques- 
tions that  should  bo  at  least  considered  before  any  appeal 
is  made  to  a  prejudice  which  is  the  result  of  Government 
exclusion  and  private  monopoly  of  the  market  for  j'ears.

I  Vs  well  as  the  foregoing  paper  we  have  received  a  letter 

i.m  Mr.  Robbins  in  which  he  says  : — 
"he  paper  was  read  as  an  introduction  to  the  general  sub- 
it  of  "  Quinine  in  Commerce  and  in  Pharmacy,"  a  subject 
to  , much  interest  at  the  present  time,  because  during  the 
p  t  season  our  supply  of  quinine,  of  American  manufacture, 
p  ved  to  be  inadequate ;  and  hence  foreign  quinines  were 
iiroduced  as  a  necessity,  notwithstanding  a  widespread 
p  judice  against  these  as  inferior  articles.  The  claim  of 
o:  American  manufacturers  for  protection  against  foreign 
CQpotition  has  always  been  in  substance  as  follows:— We 
Eoufacture  as  good  an  article  as  any  in  the  world.  'We 
i.le  been  at  great  expense  in  providing  the  necessary  appa- 
Tiis  for  manufacture,  and  in  carrying  stock  for  a  sufficient 
'siiply  for  the  wants  of  the  country  at  all  periods.  Our 
aiiingements  are  such  that  we  can  always  supply  all  that 
vifhQ  re:iuired,  and  hence  the  foreign  article  should  be 
e;iluded,  as  it  has  been,  by  protective  duties." 

/he  aim  of  the  meeting  was  to  afford  an  opportunity  to 
ejibit,  in  comparison,  samples  of  quinine  of  all  the  various 
auufactures  in  Europe  and  in  America.  Sixteen  varieties 
oldilferent  manufacture  were  exhibited  of  bleached  and 
u Reached  .sulphate  of  quinine,  as  found  in  commerce,  and 
a. treated  with  ether  according  to  the  U.S.  P.;  also  the 
s:.e  m  different  combinations  with  cinchonidine,  with  a 
St  ement  of  the  different  densities  of  each  or  volume  when 
pcdcrcd  and  shaken  witli  ether  alone,  and  allowed  to 
stle  carefully — an  interesting  fact  of  importance  in  the  use 
ol  xcipients  fc;r  pill  mass  wherein  quinines  of  much  volume 
ai  wliiteness  require  to  be  treated  very  differently  from 
th  e  of  les.s. 

t  this  distance  from  Europe,  and  in  view  of  the  fact 
th  foreign  quinines  have  little  .standing,  it  was  deemed 


best,  for  the  sake  of  diffusing  more  precise  information,  to 
use  the  names  of  the  foreign  manufacturers,  but  to  speak  of 
our  own  American  brands  as  Nos.  1,  2,  and  3. 

The  result  of  the  exhibition  proved  that  very  erroneous 
opinions  had  been  entertained  in  regard  to  quinines  ;  that 
the  general  impression  that  the  ether  test  should  not  be 
applied  to  unbleached  quinine  was  an  error.  Three  samples 
of  unbleached  quinine  were  exhibited,  all  three  costing  the 
same  price  in  the  open  market,  two  American  and  one 
English  (WhifEcn's),  and  the  latter  made  the  requisite  solu- 
tion, while  the  two  former  had  been  proved  by  a  careful 
quantitative  analysis  to  contain  a  largo  amount  of  cinchoni- 
dine which  had  never  been  separated — the  one  being,  without 
doubt,  what  is  called  "  hospital  "  or  "  mother  water"  quinine^ 
and  the  other  an  unbleached  and  unseparated  product  of 
cinchona  bark  of  fair  quality. 

Various  white  quinines  were  then  exhibited,  and  it  was 
shown  that  no  one  of  the  samples  of  domestic  manufacture 
would  bear  any  combination  with  cinchonidine  and  make  a 
clear  solution  with  ether,  U.S. P.,  while  Howard's  could  be 
readily  combined  with  10  per  cent.,  and  Pelletier's  with 
.5  per  cent.,  and  still  bear  the  ether  test.  Further,  the  demand 
in  the  American  market  is  for  white  alkaloid  salts  of  much 
volume,  and  to  meet  this  demand  the  German  quinine  manu- 
facturers excelled  all  others  ;  while  no  one  of  these  quinines 
could  be  combined  with  cinchonidine  to  tlie  extent  of  5  per 
cent.,  and  make  a  proper  solution  in  other,  as  please  note 
copies  of  blackboard  tables,*  which  were  submitted. 


HOW  PLANTS  FEED. 


By  C.  E.  Stuart. 


(.1  Paper  read  hi  fore  the  Chemists'  Assistants'  Anseciation  on 
Novemher  13,  1878.) 

THE  subject  of  the  nutrition  of  plants  is  of  interest  on 
account  of  the  great  part  they  have  played  in  fitting 
the  earth  for  man,  and  which  they  now  play  in  affording 
him  nutriment,  directly  as  corn  and  vegetables,  indirectly  as 
the  flesh  of  herbivorous  animals. 

A  paper  read  before  our  Association  in  tlie  summer  gave 
an  excellent  account  of  the  process  of  digestion  in  animals, 
taking  that  of  man  as  the  highest  form.  With  the  materials 
of  our  food,  whether  roast  beef,  oatmeal,  potatoes,  frogs,  or 
whale's  blubber,  we  are  familiar.  We  also  know  that  the 
final  end  of  animal  bodies  is  to  be  resolved  into  inorganic 
constituents — into  dust  and  ashes.  I  propose  in  this  paper  to 
show  how  the  gap  in  the  cycle  of  changes  is  filled  up  ;  how 
inorganic  constituents  are  built  irp  into  organic  structures  ; 
to  speak,  in  fact,  of  the  nutrition  and  digestion  (if  I  may  so 
term  it)  of  plants.  I  will  put  the  relative  connection  of  the 
three  kingdoms  of  nature  with  regard  to  life  in  another 
way,  in  order  to  show  clearly  their  relationship.  Plants 
receive  force  from  the  sun,  togetlur  with  materials 
possessing  little  latent  energy — water,  carbonic  acid,  and 
ammonia.  These  reappear  as  organic  products  containing 
much  latent  energy,  together  with  free  oxygen.  Animals 
receive  iliese  compounds,  togetlier  with  oxj'gen,  and  give  off 
the  energy  contained  in  them  as  heat,  work,  locomotion,  &c., 
as  well  as  carbonic  acid,  water,  and  ammonia  (urea).  By 
the  action  of  universal  laws  this  heat  and  work,  this 
carbonic  acid,  water,  and  ammonia,  ai'e  diffused  all  over  the 
world,  available  again  for  the  food  of  plants. 

With  the  growth  and  reproduction  of  plantslhave  nothing- 
to  do  ;  it  will  be  sufficient  if  I  can  clearly  show  how,  as  I 
have  just  stated,  from  rocks,  water,  and  air  are  foimedboth 
the  grass  beneath  our  feet  and  the  giant  trees  of  the  forest. 

Now,  before  inquiring  how  plants  feed,  we  must  kno^w 
something  of  the  materials  on  which  they  feed. 

There  arc  only  two  possible  sources  of  the  food  of  plants 
it  must  be  either  organic  or  inorganic.  If  the  former,  it 
must  be  derived  entirely  from  the  soil,  for  there  is  no 
appreciable  quantity  of  organic  matter  in  air  or  water.  This 
food  being  organic,  there  must  have  existed  organic  matter 
for  the  first  created  plant  to  feed  on  ;  and  more,  there  must

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 


(February  15,  1879. 


liave  been  originally  a  sujiply  in  tlie  soil  sufficient  for  the 
needs  of  all  plants  to  the  end  of  time,  otherwise  their 
constant  consumption  as  food,  or  b_r  burning,  would  soon 
have  exhausted  the  earth.  But  we  tind  that  the  quantity  of 
organic  matter  in  the  soil  now  is  very  small,  not  sufficient 
perhaps  for  a  year's  supply,  and,  moreover,  its  percentage 
remains  constant.  And  finally,  it  is  easy  to  grow  plants 
under  conditions  which  prevent  the  absorption  of  matter  in 
an  organic  form.  Thus,  then,  we  arrive  at  the  conclusion 
that  the  food  of  plants  is  inorganic.  There  are,  however, 
exceptions,  as  fungi,  parasites,  &c.,  which  I  shall  consider 
further  on. 

Now,  what  are  the  substances  which  enter  into  the  compo- 
sition of  plants  ?  Knowing  them,  wc  shall  be  able  to  esti- 
mate the  relati\e  importance  of  various  kinds  of  food. 

In  the  first  jilacc,  plants  contain  more  or  less  water,  vary- 
ing from  10  per  cent,  in  some  seeds  to  90  per  cent,  or  even 
more  in  fungi  and  water-plants.  When  diy  plants  are 
burnt  they  give  off  various  gases,  and  there  is  left  an  ash 
consisting  of  mineral  salts.  This  ash  forms  usually  a  very 
small  pcrcciitagc  of  the  dr}'  plant,  but  in  some  cases,  as  in 
rliubarb  and  Cavtacciv,  it  rises  to  a  considerable  extent. 

There  are  certain  elements  which  are  found  in  all  plants. 
(I  set  aside  those  abnormal  plants  mentioned  above.)  These 
are  : — Carbon,  oxygen,  hydrogen,  nitrogen,  sulphur,  phos- 
phorus, potassium,  calcium,  magnesium,  and  iron. 

It  has  been  shown  b}^  experiments  that  when  a  plant  is 
deprived  of  any  of  these  elements  it  must  soon  die  :  they  arc, 
therefore,  essential  to  its  existence. 

Wants  usually  contain  also  some  of  the  next  scries  of 
elements: — Sodium,  manganese,  silicon,  chlorine;  marine 
plants  also  iodine  and  bromine.  Karely  are  fonnd,  or  have 
been  reported  to  have  been  found,  ahuTiinum,  cojiper,  zinc, 
cobalt,  nickel,  strontium,  barium,  lithium,  c;esium,  titanium, 
rul)idium,  arsenic,  and  fluorine. 

CarhoH  is  the  most  important  of  the  above  elements, 
forming  usually  about  one-half  the  entire  dry  weight  of 
plants.  It  is  derived  from  the  air,  where  it  exists  as  car- 
l.)onic  acid,  which  is  the  product  of  combustion  from  the 
lungs  of  animals  and  from  burning  organic  matter. 

Hijdro(icn  is  dcrivetl  from  water  by  a  decomposition,  which 
I  shall  presently  refer  to. 

Oxygen  enters  largely  into  the  composition  of  plants  (b.y 
weight),  but  in  considerably  le.ss  quantity  than  would  be 
reqinrcd  for  the  burning  up  of  the  carbon  and  liydrogen.  It 
is  derived  chiefly  from  the  air. 

XitroffCii  is  a  scant}'  but  extremely  important  element: 
it  forms  from  1  per  cent,  to  per  cent,  of  the  dry  w-eight. 
Free  nitrogen  cannot  be  absorbed  by  plants  :  *  its  source  is, 
tlierefore,  salts  of  ammonia  and  nitrates.  These  are  furnished 
by  the  excrements  of  animals,  by  the  atmo.sphere,  and  by  the 
soil ;  the  small  proportion  of  organic  matter  in  which  seems 
to  favour  the  concentration  around  it  of  ammonia  and  its 
salts,  just  as  charcoal  absorbs  certain  gases. 

Suljilmr  and  Phij,y?/i<rnis  are  taken  up  as  sulphates  and 
phosphates,  chiefly  of  lime  and  magnesia. 

Iron  occurs  in  extremely  minute  quani  ity,  ljut  is,  never- 
theless, essential  to  green  plants. 

Calcivm,  Ma/incnium,  Sodium,  and  Potussuim,  are  taken  up 
in  solution  as  various  salts,  phosphates,  chlorides,  suljjhates, 
and  nitrates.  8ome  CharactYc  secrete  a  complete  coat  of 
carbonate  of  lime. 

Silicon  is  taken  up  as  a  dilute  solution  of  silicic  acid, 
many  Diatomnccw  form  a  "shell  "  composed  of  it. 

The  otiicr  elements  are  also  in  the  form  of  salts. 

Out  of  the  ten  essential  elements  given  above  are  formed 
in  a  manner  which  I  shall  presently  describe,  these  com- 
pounds, some  or  all  of  which  are  univers.ally  found  in  plants, 
namel}',  cellulose,  protoplasm,  chlorophvll,  starcli,  sugars, 
fats. 

rr?/H/(wr  is  the  substance  which  forms  the  walls  of  cells, 
and  thercrore  the  greater  part  of  the  plant.  It  contains 
only  carbon,  hydrogen,  and  o.xygen. 

Prot«2>lasin  is  fovmd  in  the  interior  of  living  cells.  All 
substances  wliich  are  to  benefit  the  plant  are  directly  or  in- 
directly made  from  it.  It  is  a  mixture  of  various  substances, 
called  albumenoidj,  whose  essential  elements  are  carbon, 
liydrogen,  nitrogen,  o.xygen,  and  sulphur. 


*  Kecent  investigations  make  it  very  prolmljle  that  imdm-  the  iiiflneno 
of  "atmospheric  clc<'tricity  plauts  are  enabled  to  assimilate  free  nitrogen. - 
Ed.  C.  &n. 


ChkmiphyU  is  of  a  green  colour;  it  is  the  substance  by 
means  of  which  alone  inorganic  materials  are  converted  into 
those  of  an  organic  nature.  All  plants,  therefore,  which  have 
no  chlorophyll  must  take  up  their  food  in  an  already  assimi- 
lated condition.  Such  are  fungi  and  a  few  others.  Chloro- 
phyll contains  carbon,  hydrogen,  oxygen,  and  nitrogen.  But 
iron  is  known  to  be  essential  to  the  formation  of  that  green 
colour  which  is  its  characteristic  ;  and  when  formed,  the 
presence  of  potassium  salts  is  necessary  for  its  activity. 

Starch,  Sugars,  and  iT'rt*  are  the  immediate  produce  of  the 
chlorophjdl ;  in  their  f  ormulaj  are  various  proportions  of 
carbon,  liydrogen.  and  oxygen.  From  their  decomposition 
proceed  the  various  substances  which  together  constitute  the 
plant. 

I  have  now  considered  (1st)  the  chief  elements,  and  (2ud) 
the  chief  comjoounds  of  which  the  jolant  is  built  up.  Next 
I  will  glance  at  the  forces  which  set  the  process  by  which 
feeding  is  accomplished  in  motion.  I  shall  then  look  at  the 
processes  themselves. 

The  first  great  force  is  that  most  ijlentiful  of  all — the 
sun's  rays,  rich  as  they  are  in  producing  light,  heat,  and 
cliemical  activity.  The  action  of  these  rays  on  plants  is 
rather  complicated.  The  following  are  the  chief  points 
connected  with  my  subject  : — 

Heat  causes  the  germination  of  seeds,  and  favours  various 
chemical  jn'ocesses. 

Light  (with  a  certain  quantity  of  iieat)  causes  chloro- 
phyll to  turn  green,  and  to  decompose  carbonic  acid. 
In  the  dark,  therefore,  only  plants  containing  no  chlorophyll 
can  grow.  In  ferns  and  the  cotyledons  of  the  conifersB, 
however,  if  the  temperature  is  sufficiently  high,  chlorophyll 
turns  green  even  in  the  dark. 

The  raj's  which  on  some  substances,  such  as  chloride  of 
silver,  have  a  chemical  action,  on  plants  have  chiefly  an 
etfect  on  growth,  influencing  its  rapidity,  and  causing  various 
movements. 

Again,  since  a  plant  is  composed  principally  of  a  series  of 
closed  bags  or  cells,  some  force  must  come  into  play  in  order 
to  allow  water  or  sap  to  enter  these  cells,  and  to  carry  the 
contents  of  cells  from  one  to  another.  This  force  is  osmose, 
the  general  expression  of  the  action  of  which  is  that,  when 
two'liquids  of  different  densities  are  separated  by  a 
membrane,  the  lighter  liquid  penetrates  this  membrane,  and 
mixes  with  the  denser,  while  a  small  quantity  of  the  denser 
passes  in  the  reverse  direction  to  mix  with  the  lighter. 
Tlius  it  will  easily  be  seen  that,  when  a  perpendicular  row 
of  cells  containing  thick  sap  has  its  lower  end  in  con- 
tact with  water  or  with  damp  earth,  water  (with  salts 
dissolved  in  it)  will  be  absorbed,  will  gradually  rise  all  up 
the  row  of  cells,  and  be  distributed  over  the  plant. 

But  this  process  is  a  comparatively  sIq^v  one,  and,  on 
account  of  the  rapid  growth  of  plants  and  the  immense; 
evaporation  of  water  from  the  leaves,  a  quicker  method  is  ; 
required.  Therefore  the  tissues  of  the  wood  are  used, 
These  consist  of  thick-walled  cells  and  vessels.  The  water 
taken  up  by  the  roots  is  discharged  upon  and  into  the 
guidance  of  these  wood  cells  and  vessels  ;  and  whenever 
there  is  a  loss  of  water  anywhere  in  the  plant,  the  wood 
nearest  the  part  supplies  more,  and  takes  up  again  from  the 
lower  parts  of  the  wood.  Thus  the  wood  supplies  and  holds, ^ 
water  somewhat  as  a  sponge  does,  not  by  endosmose  or 
capiUarity  (for  the  cavities  of  the  wood  cells  and  vessels 
rarely  contain  fluid,  and  are  often  partially  or  wholly  con- 
nected, while  the  size  of  the  tubes  thus  formed  is  too 
great  to  allow  of  the  ascent  of  fluids  by  capillarity  to  any 
height).  These  two  last  forces,  however,  doubtless  come 
into  play  when  the  conditions  are  suitable. 

There  are  various  other  processes  connected  with  nutri- 
tion due  to  chemical  action. 

Having,  I  hope,  cleared  the  ground  beforehand,  I  can  now 
explain  the  actual  process  of  nutrition. 

What  occurs  in  an  ordinary  green  plant  in  sunlight  is  as 
follows  : — 

1.  Water  evaporates  from  the  cell  of  the  leaf  into  the  air. 

2.  More  water  and  dissolved  salts  is  therefore  brought  to 
supply  its  place.  This  comes  along  the  spiral  and  pitted 
vessel  and  cells  of  the  flbro-vascular  bundle,  and  is  distri- 
buted to  the  cells  whence  evaporation  took  place. 

:>.  Carbonic  acid  enters  through  the  stomata,  and  diffuses 
into  the  cells  containing  chlorophyll. 

4.  The  chlorophyll  decomposes  the  carbonic  acid  and

'water,  one  atom  of  oxygen  being  given  ofE  by  each,  and  the 
carbonic  oxide  and  hydrogen  combining  to  form  formic  aldc- 
'hyde  (COH„),  the  oxygen  set  free  passes  into  the  air. 
'"  5.  The  formic  aldehyde  under  the  influence  of  alkalies  is 
transformed  into  glucose — 

6C0H,=C,H,50s 
Or  starch  and  oils  may  also  be  formed.* 

6.  The  sugar,  starch,  or  oil  formed  in  the  leaf  has  now  to 
be  transported  to  the  growing  points  of  the  plant.  The 
starch  and  oil  are  converted  int(5  glucose,  and  diffuse  througli 
the  soft  tissue  of  the  petiole  and  stem,  till  they  get  to  the 
point  where  they  are  to  be  utilised,  where  starch  or  oil  is 
temporarily  reformed  at  the  expense  of  the  glucose. 

7.  On  its  way  this  glucose  will  meet  with  some  ammonium 
salt  or  nitrate  taken  up  from  the  soil.  A  part  of  it  is  under 
this  condition  (probably  by  the  influence  of  alkaline 
phosphates)  changed  into  an  albuminoid  by  tlie  absorption 
of  nitrogen. 

8.  The  sulphur  for  the  albuminoids  is  perhaps  also  taken 
up  with  the  nitrogen,  by  the  decomposition  of  calcic  sulphate 
by  oxalic  acid,  and  the  breaking  up  of  the  sulphuric  radical 
thus  set  free.  This  is  the  origin  of  those  crystals  of  calcic 
oxalate  (raphides)  so  frequently  met  with  in  plant  tissues, 
iand  thus  the  oxalic  acid  fonned  by  various  oxidation  pro- 
[jesses,  and  whicli  may  be  injurious  to  the  plant,  is  rendered 
innocuous. 

It  is  remarkable  that  the  substances  containing  no  nitro- 
gen, the  carbo-hj'drates,  &c.,  which  have  an  acid  reaction, 
ire  conveyed  from  place  to  place  only  tlirougli  the  parcn- 
jhyma  of  the  stem,  while  the  albuminoids,  which  are  alka- 
ine,  are  conveyed  through  the  parenchyma  of  the  bast 
)uiidles. 

The  chemical  changes  of  the  original  starch  into  the  com- 
plicated substances  found  in  plants  are  accompanied  by  an 
ibsorption  of  oxygen,  and  an  exhalation  of  carbonic  acid 

iid  water — a  true  respiration.    This  goes  on  night  and  day, 
it  it  is  only  at  night  that  it  is  very  marked,  and  even  then 
6  amount  of  carbonic  [acid  given  ofE  bears  a  very  small 
oportion  to  that  decomposed  during  the  day. 
At  night  the  fixation  of  carbon  ceases  entirely,  and  then 
1  cells  give  out  only  carbonic  acid  (in  small  quantity,  as 
st  stated).    Thus  the  plant  may  be  said  to  take  in  its  food 
ily  during  the  day,  but  to  digest  it  at  all  hours. 
But  instead  of  being  at  once  digested,  the  food  may  be 
jtored  up  for  a  future  occasion,  as  in  seeds,  tubers,  and 
ijeshy  roots.    The  use  of  this  reserve  and  the  method  of  its 
tilisation  is  well  shown  in  germination.    Under  the  influ- 
,Bice  of  heat  and  moisture  the  greater  part  of  the  contents 
Sf  the  cells  is  destroyed,  witli  formation  of  quantities  of 
,|arbonic  acid  and  water.    By  this  rae.ans  the  cells  are  filled 
'fith  fluid  contents,  and  active  chemical  life  in  their  interior 
;  again  rendered  possible.    The  next  process  is  the  conver- 
on  of  the  remaining  substances  into  gums  and  sugars, 
hich  are  then  used  for  the  formation  of  cellulose,  proto- 
lasm,  and  chlorophyll. 

I  now  come  to  some  other  conditions  of  niTtrition.  That 
'  parasites  which  contain  chlorophyll,  such  as  the  mistletoe, 
3es  not  ditfer  materially  from  the  general  process,  the  plant 
5liaving  just  as  a  graft  does  ;  some  of  its  food  is  assimi- 
ted  for  itself  by  means  of  its  chloropliyll,  some  is  derived 
1  an  already  assimilated  condition  from  its  liost. 
*  There  are  some  plants  which  seem  (o  thrive  best  when 
'ipplied  with  nitrogen  in  an  organic  form,  in  the  shape  of 
■sects  or  meat.    Such  plants  are  the  sundews  {Drosci-a^. 
arwin  fed  .50  of  them  with  water  only  and  ,50  with  small 
cces  of  roast  meat  in  addition.    At  the  end  of  the  summer 
ose  fed  with  meat  weighed  21-.5  per  cent,  more  than  tire 
hers,  while  their  seeds  were  nearly  four  times  as  heavy, 
-le  organic  substances  arc  dissolved  by  an  acid  ferment 
sembling  pepsin  secreted  by  the  leaves. 
■  Plants  containing  no  chlorophyll,  as  the  class  f  imgi,  and 
me  few  vascular  plants,  such  as  the  dodders  and  broom- 
ipes,  cannot  decompose  carbonic  acid  ;  and  therefore  their 
■od  must  be  altogether  derived  from  organic  sources.  Thus 
ey  feed  on  either  deader  living  plants  and  animals,  ab- 
■rbing  oxygen  and  giving  off  carbonic  acid. 
In  the  above  summary  I  have  hardly  shown  the  importance 
<  various  soils  in  their  relation  to  the  food  of  plants. 

The  processes  4  and  5  arc  rendered  probable  by  tlie  rcsearcbes  of  Gcr- 
in  botanists,  but  must  not  be  taken  for  granted. 


Although  the  absorption  of  salts  by  roots  is  to  a  great  extent 
selective,  and  a  plant  can  exist  in  a  soil  wliere  the  elements 
of  its  ash  are  present  in  any  proportion,  yet  the  more  nearly 
these  can  be  supplied  in  the  proper  proportion,  the  better 
will  the  plant  grow. 

On  an  analysis  of  the  ash  of  plants  it  is  found  that  there 
are  four  chief  classes : — 

1.  Ash  consisting  chiefly  of  alkalies:  such  plants  abottnd 
in  starch  and  sitgar. 

2.  Ash  chalky,  a  condition  met  with  in  dicotyledons,  espe- 
cially in  their  leaves,  frttits,  and  stalks. 

.3.  Ash  silicious,  as  in  the  stalks  of  leaves  of  many 
monocotyledons. 

4.  Ash  phosphatic,  found  in  plants  and  parts  of  plants 
which  abound  in  nitrogen,  as  seeds. 

The  following  table  illttstrates  these  classes,  and  shows 
also  what  salts  should  be  supplied  in  tlie  shape  of  manures  to 
soils  on  which  the  plants  are  grown  : —

There  is  always  a  waste  of  salts  when  plants  are  consumed 
by  animals,  for  instead  of  being  retttrned  to  the  soil,  the 
sea  receives  them  as  sewage.  A  loss  of  phosphates  occurs 
on  account  of  the  practice  of  interment  in  churchyards. 
When  sewage  is  properly  ttirncd  to  accoimt  ou  land, 
enormotts  crops  may  be  raised,  as  at  Birmingliam. 

By  studying  these  ashes  in  a  scientiflc  way,  and  applying 
the  residts  obtained  to  agriculture,  a  great  gain  has  resulted 
to  that  art  by  teaching  the  best  method  of  raising  crops,  of 
mantu-ing  soil,  and  preventing  its  exhatistion.  Thus  the 
knowledge  of  the  food  of  plants  is  interesting  to  the  world 
at  large,"and  if  any  who  read  this  feeble  exposition  of  it, 
and  the  processes  in  connection,  derive  any  benefit  from  it, 
I  sliall  be  content.

CITY. 

Destruction  op  Messrs.  Hornimax  &  Co.'s  Tea  Ware- 
house.—The  large  building  in  Wormwood  Street  occupied 
by  Messrs.  Horniman  &  Co.  was  partially  destroyed  by  fire 
on  the  night  of  February  4,  The  building  contained  about 
50,000?.  wortli  of  tea,  of  which  very  little  will  be  saved,  as 
what  was  not  destroyed  by  fire  was  hopelessly  damaged  by 
the  floods  of  water  which  were  potu-ed  on  the  building. 
Messrs.  Horniman  were  insured  in  several  oflice;.'.  The 
cause  of  the  fire  cannot  be  ascertained. 

SOUTHWARK. 
Attempted  Suicide.— Joseph  M.  Talbot,  24,  described 
as  a  dritggist's  assistant,  was  charged  at  the  Sout^hwark 
Police  Court  with  attempting  to  drown  himself  in  the 
Thames.  The  prisoner's  father  said  he  believed  his  son's 
mind  had  latterly  been  affected  by  excessive  reading  of  re- 
ligious books.  The  prisoner,  in  answer  to  the  charge,  said 
he  had  been  ill  for  a  long  time,  and  did  not  know  what  he 
was  about.  He  had  no ''idea  how  he  came  into  the  river, 
and  he  was  thankful  to  the  waterman  for  saving  his  life. 
Mr.  Partridge  sent  him  under  remand  to  the  House  of 
Detention,  and  awarded  the  waterman  who  had  taken  him 
out  of  the  river  .5.S.  from  flie  poor-box  fund.

WALWORTH. 

Three  Hundred  Pounds  Damages  Claimed  for  the 
Bite  op  a  Dog. — On  January  31  a  servant  girl  named 
Brady  sued  Mr.  John  Butterwortli,  chemist,  Walwortli,  for 
300Z.  damages  for  a  bite  from  a  dog  kept  by  defendant.  It 
was  admitted  that  the  dog  in  question  was  likely  to  bite 
strangers,  though  it  had  never  been  known  to  do  so  before  ; 
in  fact,  it  was  kept  to  bite  any  unbidden  guests  who  might 
visit  the  premises  after  dark.  There  was  the  usual  conflict 
of  evidence  as  to  provocation  on  the  part  of  the  bitten,  and  it 
was  stated  that  the  girl  had  kept  her  bed  for  a  fortnight 
rather  for  the  sake  of  rest  than  from  the  actual  effects  of 
the  bite.  The  jury  were  locked  up  for  three  hours,  when 
they  stated  that  there  was  no  chance  of  their  agreeing ; 
they  were  therefore  discharged. 

WOOLWICH. 

An  Assistant  Poisoned  by  Prussic  Acid. — Edward 
Johnson,  24,  assistant  to  Mr.  F.  T.  Atkins,  chemist,  Powis 
Street,  Woolwich,  was  found  dead  about  9  p.m.  on 
January  27.  He  had  been  in  Mr.  Atkins'  emi^loy  only  one 
day,  and  as  he  had  exhibited  signs  of  intoxication  he  had 
been  persuaded  to  lie  down.  A  bottle  of  prussic  acid  and 
.another  of  brandy  were  found  near  him,  and  his  lips  smelt 
of  prussic  acid,  but  the  features  did  not  indicate  a  violent 
death.  There  was  no  measure  in  the  room,  and  it  is  believed 
by  Mr.  Atkins,  surgeon,  son  of  Mr.  F.  T.  Atkins,  that  he  had 
taken  about  20  drops  of  the  acid,  which  would  cause  death 
in  half-an-hour.  The  use  of  small  doses  of  the  acid  to 
remove  the  effects  of  drink  is  well  known  among  chemists' 
assistants,  the  dose  being  not  more  than  five  minims.  The 
bottle  found  near  the  deceased  did  not  come  from  Mr. 
Atkins'  .shop,  and  he  had  probably  brought  it  with  liim.  His 
relatives  live  at  Spalding,  Lincolnshire.  A  verdict  of 
death  from  an  overdose  of  prussic  acid  was  returned  at  the 
inquest. 


ABERDEEN. 

Pharmaceutical  Festivity. — The  chemists  and  drug- 
gists held  a  conversazione,  supper,  and  ball  on  the  evening 
of  February  12.  The  chairman  (Mr.  David  Richie)  made  a 
short  but  telling  speech,  in  which  he  advocated  earlier 
closing,  and  consequently  better  attendance  on  the  educa- 
tional classes  provided.  "  Let  us,"  he  said,  "  by  waiting  our 
efforts  and  conserving  our  means  amongst  ourselves  in  pre- 
ference to  sending  subscriptions  to  the  Pharmaceutical 
Society  in  London,  establish  a  school  of  pliarmacy  here, 
which  will  vie  with  kindred  institutions  in  tlie  south. 

BIRMINGHAM. 

MiijI.and  Counties  Chemists'  Association. — Annual 
Soiree. — The  annual  soiree  of  the  Association  was  held  in  the 
Town  Hall,  Birmingham,  on  January  23.  There  was  a  large 
attendance  of  chemists  and  their  friends,  and  among  other 
visitors  we  may  mention  Mr.  A.  Bottle  (the  Mayor  of  Dover), 
Dr.  Bottle,  Dr.  Alfred  Hill,  and  others.  The  hall  was 
illuminated  with  the  electric  light.  Nine  electric  lamps  on 
the  JablohkofE  principle  were  supplied  and  worked  by 
Messrs.  Martineau  &  Smith.  The  light  was  steady,  and 
worked  capitally,  adding  much  to  the  interest  of  the  meeting. 
The  entertainment  commenced  with  a  promenade  concert 
of  operatic  and  other  music,  played  by  Messrs.  Synger  &: 
Gilmer's  full  military  band  and  by  the  organ.  Mr.  Stimpson, 
organist  of  the  Town  Hall,  presided  at  the  organ.  The  music 
was  well  rendered  and  highly  appreciated,  particularly  the 
air  from  "  Nazareth  "  and  the  march  from  "  Naamar,"  which 
were  finely  rendered  hy  the  band  and  organ  together. 
Mr.  H.  W.  Jones,  F.C.S.,  F.R.,  M.S.,  exhibited  some  inter- 
esting and  instructive  experiments  in  the  corridor,  showing 
the  combustion  of  a  steel  watch-sping  in  oxygen  gas  ;  the 
burning  of  carbon  in  oxygen.  The  effect  of  a  monochro- 
matic light  was  then  shown  upon  colours,  flowers,  and 
engravings  ;  these,  which  were  beautifully  coloured  by 
daylight,  seemed  quite  black  under  its  influence.  There 
followed  a  highly  amusing   lecture   by  Professor  Ned- 


dyson,  the  "Inventor  of  America,"  which  greatly  enter- 
tained the  audience  till  about  half -past  nine,  when  dancing 
was  commenced  to  the  lively  strains  of  Messrs.  Gilmer's 
excelland  band,  and  was  carried  on  until  a  late  hour.  About 
400  were  present,  and  a  most  enjoyable  evening  was  spent. 

BRADFORD. 

Severe  Sentence  on  a  Registered  Chemist  and  i 
Druggist. — At  the  Leeds  Assizes  on  February  C,  Hezekiah  ! 
Thornton,  of  Bradford,  was  sentenced  to  10  years'  penal  j 
servitude  for  using  instruments  upon  a  young  woman  for  the  ' 
purpose  of  procuring  abortion.     At  the  last  assizes  the 
prisoner  was  charged  with  the  wilful  murder  of  the  young 
woman,  but  was  acquitted.    Thornton  is  described  in  the 
newspaper  reports  as  a  herbalist,  but  his  name  appears  on 
the  registrar  of  chemists  and  druggists  as  having  been  in 
business  before  August,  1868. 

BRISTOL.  1 

Suicide  of  an  Agricultural  Chemist. — On  Feb.  1  , 
Mr.  Edward  Garroway  Cope,  32  years  of  age,  of  the  firm  of 
Messrs.  Proctor,  agricultural  chemists,  was  found,  at  7  A.M., 
dead  in  his  bed.  A  letter  was  found  upon  his  dressing-table, 
in  which  he  stated  that  he  had  been  going  out  of  his  mind 
for  some  time,  and  he  could  stand  it  no  longer.  Mr.  Steele, 
siu-geon,  stated  that  death  was  probably  caused  by  strychnine,  ; 

CORK. 

The  Value  of  a  Chemist's  Time.— An  Irish  pharma- 
ceutical chemist,  named  Keating,  having  had  to  attend  as  a 
witness  in  a  probate  case  at  Dublin,  for  five  days,  received 
51.  for  his  time  from  the  plaintiff  who  had  called  him,  and  who 
gained  the  suit.    Keating's  evidence  at  the  trial  was  not  of 
much  importance,  but  he  considered  that  he  was  entitled,  as  I 
a  professional  man,  to  tliree  guineas  a  day,  and  he  therefore 
sued  for  the  balance.    In  cross-examination  it  came  out  that  j 
he  was  a  bankrupt  and  had  notlnng  to  do  at  the  time  when  ( 
he  went  to  Dublin.    It  was  submitted  that  as  an  uncertified  t 
bankrupt  he  could  not  earn  money,  but  on  the  other  side  it    J  : 
was  urged  that  though  a  bankrupt  could  not  trade  he  could    it  I 
receive  money  for  his  personal  services.     On  this  question    |j  I 
the  judge  postponed  his  decision.  ;|  i 

COVENTRY.  •^^1  I 

A  Doctor  Committed  for  Manslaughter. — This  is  'j  ^ 
a  case  of  a  most  unusual  kind.  On  January  19  the  infant  ij 
son  of  George  Barstock,  labourer,  Bishopgate  Green,  Coventry,  i  fj 
was  attacked  with  diarrhoea.  On  the  21st  an  order  was  j 
granted  by  the  Relieving  Officer  for  Dr.  Thomas  Millerchip,  '1 
medical  officer  of  the  No.  2  District  of  the  Union,  to  attend  !  ' 
the  child  and  mother.  During  the  four  following  days  j  1 
reiterated  messages,  verbal  and  written,  and  of  ever-increas-  '  Hi 
ing  urgency,  were  delivered  to  the  doctor,  asking  him  to  !  U 
come.  On  the  25th  the  child  died,  and  the  family  were  \  ill 
found  in  great  trouble  by  two  members  of  the  Public  Relief  ^  t 
Committee.  The  case  was  reported  to  the  relieving  officer,  '  If! 
and  Dr.  Millerchip  admitted  his  negligence.  Drs.  E.  Overton  ;  k 
and  E.  Dewes  made  a  joint  post-monem  examination,  and  ■  Jit 
reported  that  there  was  no  trace  whatever  of  any  disease,  ;  91 
except  the  result  of  diarrhoea.  Dr.  Overton  believed  that  '  Si 
medical  attendance  on  either  of  the  three  daj^s  preceding  its  '  H 
death  would  have  saved  the  child's  life.  Dr.  Dewes  con-  '  I* 
curred,  but  added  that  he  was  surprised  to  find  the  child  so  \ 
much  reduced  in  the  time.  At  the  inquest  Dr.  Millerchip  ' 
was  committed  for  trial  at  the  Warwick  Assizes.  '  Hi

Disappearance  op  Mr.  J.  M.  Fairlie.— On  Februarys 
some  sensation  was  caused  in  pharn  aceutical  circles  in 
Glasgow  by  the  report  that  Mr.  J.  M.  Fairlie,  well  known  as 
a  member  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Council  and  member  of  the  . 
Executive  Committee  of  the  Chemists  and  Druggists'  Trade  ; 
Association,  had  suddenly  disappeared.    He  had  executed  a 
deed  of  trust  for  the  benefit  of  his  creditors,  and  the  account- 
ant's opinion  was  that  the  estate  %vould  show  about  10s.  in  ^ 
pound.    A  meeting  of  the  creditors  is  to  take  place  on 
February  17,  at  65  West  Regent  Street.    Up  to  the  latest

Mr.  Fairlie  has  gone.

HULL. 

Theft  of  Opium. — On  January  16  John  Creigliton,  a 
young  man,  was  sentenced  to  five  months'  hard  labour  for 
stealing  31  lbs.  of  opium,  value  251,  the  property  of  Messrs. 
Lofthouse  &  Saltmer,  cliemists  and  druggists.  Market  Place, 
Hull.  The  accused  was  employed  as  porter  by  the  prosecutors 
from  October  to  December  21  last.  The  theft  was  discovered 
by  his  offering  4  lbs.  for  sale  to  Mr.  Marshall,  chemist, 
Beverley.  Mr.  Marshall  suspected  that  all  was  not  right, 
and  followed  the  prisoner  to  Hull.  Mr.  Saltmer,  one  of  the 
prosecutors,  having  been  communicated  with,  gave  the 
accused  into  custody,  and  when  charged  he  admitted  that 
he  had  stolen  the  opium  from  the  prosecutors.  On  liis 
house  being  searched  15  lbs.  12  oz.  of  opium  was  found  under 
the  flooring. 

KENDAL. 

Private  Trade  Kecipes. — Libel. — At  Lancaster  Assizes 
on  January  24,  before  Lord  Justice  Thesiger,  an  action  to 
recover  damages  for  libel  was  brought  by  Mr.  C.  W.  Hodgson 
against  Mr.  Thomas  Hinde,  a  druggist,  both  of  Kendal. 
Last  year  Mr.  Hodgson  came  on  trial  as  apprentice  to  Mr. 
Hinde.  An  injury  to  his  foot  shortly  after  compelled  him 
to  be  absent  for  some  weeks,  so  he  suggested  that  Mr.  Hinde 
should  seciire  another  apprentice.  The  latter  wrote  to  the 
plaintiff's  grandmother,  characterising  this  conduct  as  dis- 
graceful, and  saying  he  had  been  told  that  the  plaintiff  had 
got  possession  of  some  of  his  private  recipes  and  ho  would 
prosecute  him  if  they  were  used.  As  the  communication  was 
privileged  and  there  was  no  evidence  of  malice  to  go  to  a 
ljury,  the  case  was  ended  by  withdrawing  a  juror. 

NOTTINGHAM. 

A  Curious  Apprenticeship  Case  came  before  Mr. 
Justice  Grove  at  the  last  Nottingham  Assizes  (on  February  6). 
In  November,  1871,  a  Mr.  Bunting  apprenticed  his  son  to 
iMr.  North,  wholesale  druggist,  Nottingham.  By  the  terms 
of  the  deed  it  was  stipulated  that  the  youth  should  serve 
;Mr.  North  until  he  should  attain  the  age  of  21  years,  which 
Iwould  be  on  June  21,  1877.  In  point  of  fact  the  son  came 
of  age  on  June  24,  1876,  and  when  that  day  arrived  left  his 
OQaster's  service,  and  Mr.  North  now  sued  Dir.  Bunting,  sen., 
:or  the  loss  of  the  son's  services  for  one  year.  According  to 
-he  defendant's  version  the  solicitor  who  prepared  the  deed 
nade  a  mistake,  or  was  mis-instructed  by  the  plaintiff,  and 
,he  attention  of  all  parties  was  called  to  it  before  the  deed 
vas  executed,  when  the  defendant  desired  that  the  mistake 
.should  be  rectified,  but  the  solicitor  said  that  this  was  un- 
liecessary,  as  the  defendant's  son  could  not  be  compelled  to 
;erve  after  he  came  of  age.  This  was  denied  by  the  plain- 
■ilf,  the  solicitor,  and  the  plaintiff's  wife  ;  and  the  jury 
ippeared  to  believe  their  version  of  the  affair,  for  they  found 
I  verdict  for  the  plaintiff  for  lol. 

Nottingham  and  Notts  Chemists'  Association. —

-nd  recommended  their  support  as  a  means  of  promoting 
:'ood  feeling  amongst  the  members,  and  coupled  with  the 
jOast  the  name  of  the  president,  who  suitably  responded, 
pr.  W.  H.  Parker  next  proposed  the  health  of  the  "  Officers

ROTHBRHAM. 

William  Beatson  found  Guilty  of  Embezzlement. — 
During  February  6  and  7  the  Crown  Court  of  the  Leeds  Assizes 
was  occupied  in  the  trial  of  William  Beafson,  50,  chemical 
manufacturer,  who  was  indicted  for  obtaining  5,000?.  by 
false  pretences  from  Mr.  John  Henry  Mycock,  at  Rothcrham, 
with  intent  to  cheat  and  defraud.  According  to  the  evi- 
dence for  the  prosecution  the  prisoner  had  represented  to 
Mr.  Mycock  that  he  was  the  owner  of  a  business  which  had 
made  him  wealthy,  and  from  which  he  wished  to  retire  solely 
on  account  of  his  age ;  and,  through  that  representation, 
had  induced  Mr.  Mycock  to  invest  money  in  a  biisiness  which 
was  utterly  and  hopelessly  insolvent,  and  overburdened  with 
personal  and  trade  debts.  Beatson  had  been  for  many  years 
a  chemical  manufacturer  near  Rotherham,  and  he  himself 
resided  in  a  liouse  near  to  his  works.  He  was  understood 
generally  to  be  a  wealthy  man,  and  the  prosecutor  believed 
in  him  thoroughly,  wliich  confidence  the  prisoner  presumed 
and  traded  upon.  Prisoner  was  a  frequent  visitor  at  Mr. 
M3'cock's  house,  made  a  profession  of  religion,  and  had 
offered  to  Mrs.  Mycock  the  consolations  of  religion.  In 
July,  1877,  Beatson  called  upon  Mycock,  who  was  the 
postmaster  and  vestry  clerk  at  Masborongh.  The  prose- 
cutor was  about  that  time  to  receive  4,000Z.  or  5,000L 
from  the  Midland  Railwaj-  Company  as  the  price  of 
certain  land.  The  prisoner  knew  of  this  circumstance, 
and,  being  at  that  time  in  such  a  position  that  he  could  not 
carry  on  business  any  longer  unless  he  got  money  somehow, 
he  called  upon  Mycock.  Prisoner  told  the  prosecutor  he 
had  no  children  of  his  own,  but  that  he  had  a  nephew 
Arthur,  who  was  in  the  business  of  the  chemical  works ; 
and  he  proposed  that  Arthur  and  the  prosecutor's  son,  a 
a  young  man  not  yet  20,  should  have  his  business.  He 
further  stated  that  the  business  had  done  well  for  him,  that 
he  was  in  very  comfortable  circumstances,  and  that  he 
should  like  to  do  the  two  young  men  a  good  turn.  The 
bait,  however,  which  he  threw  out  was  that  Mycock  should 
lend  him  some  money,  and  so  get  some  interest  in  the  busi- 
ness, and  that  young  Mycock,  when  he  became  of  age, 
should  become  a  partner  under  these  easy  conditions  :  He 
proposed  that,  to  begin  with,  2,000Z.  should  be  lent  to  him 
as  a  sort  of  stake  in  the  business.  The  prisoner  represented 
that  his  woiks  and  other  property  were  of  the  value  of 
32,000/.,  and,  with  the  addition  of  5,000/.  for  stock,  he  made 
up  a  grand  total  of  something  like  37,000Z.  Instead  of  being 
worth  that  amount  of  money,  he  was  at  that  time  at  least 
10,000/.  in  debt,  and  did  not  know  which  way  to  tm-n  for 
money.  On  these  statements  the  prisoner  succeeded  in 
borrowing  5,000/.,  the  whole  of  the  money  possessed  by  the 
prosecutor,  and  soon  afterwards  filed  his  petition  for  bank- 
ruptcy, and  left  Mycock  a  ruined  man.  After  his  petition 
had  been  filed  Mrs.  Mycock,  naturally  indignant,  reproached 
him  with  his  conduct,  and  suggested  that  at  the  time  he 
borrowed  the  money  from  her  husband  he  knew  perfectly 
well  that  he  was  insolvent,  and  the  prisoner  admitted  that 
he  did.  In  defence  it  was  argued  that  the  prisoner  did  not 
know  he  was  in  an  insolvent  position  when  he  obtained  the 
money  from  the  prosecutor.  He  was  found  guilty,  and 
sentenced  to  18  months'  imprisonment  with  hard  labour.

dency of  Mr.  A.  W.  Smith,  pharmaceutical  chemist. 

SHEFFIELD. 

Seventy-seven  Judgment  Summonses  by  a  Doctor  1  — 
On  January  17  the  Sheffield  Coiinty  Court  was  occupied  in 
hearing  77  judgment  summonses,  in  the  whole  of  which  Dr. 
James  Mason  was  the  plaintiff  !  The  judge  commented  on  the 
fact  in  strong  terms,  remarking  that  33  of  the  77  had  not 
been  served  probably  because  the  hard  times  had  compelled 
the  poor  to  remove  from  their  homes.  On  the  previous  day 
Dr.  Mason  had  tried  hard  to  recover  a  guinea  costs  from  a 
poor  woman  who  had  sued  him  for  1/.  overcliarge,  but  had 
been  defeated.  The  judge  refused  him  the  sum  demanded, 
saying  that  if  a  medical  man  were  so  lost  to  a  sense  of 
delicacy  he  must  hold  him  to  his  strict  right.  He  was 
granted  5.?.  costs,  to  be  paid  2.s'.  a  judgment-day.

AcriON  FOK  THE  VALUE  OF  SAFES— At  the  Walsall 
(Jounty  Court  on  January  16,  Mr.  J.  B.  Oerton,  solicitor, 
Birmingham,  sued  Mr.  Tliomas  Sneyd,  chemist,  for  the  sum 
of  121.,  being  the  value  of  two  safes.  This  was  the  price 
agreed  to  in  the  transfer  of  some  premises,  but  as  the  keys 
of  tlie  .safes  were  not  forthcoming  the  defendant  refi^sed  to 
pay  the  full  amount.  He  offered  10?.,  or,  if  the  plaintiff 
would  find  the  keys,  the  whole  121.  As  he  had  made  un- 
conditional promises  to  pay  before  discovering  the  keys 
were  wanting,  judgment  was  given  against  him  for  the  full 
imount.

,,  quantities  in  the  island  of  Chios,  and  are  sent  thence  to 
J  Europe  by  way  of  Marseilles,  Trieste,  &c.    In  Greece  the

from  the  true  orange-flower  water.    The  aiitlwncron  is  also 
counterfeited  without  the  use  of  mytlioncroii  by  simply  dis- 
i  solving  oleum  neroli  in  a  very  weak  solution  of  salt.  The 
much-liked  antlwncron  is  sold  by  retailers  and  travelling- 
merchants  in  small  straw-covered  flasks.'*  They  recommend 
it  as  a  Farmnltoii  antisjiasmodicum,  '■  Eji  Iladsch  Turuntz 
Su,"  that  good  remedy,  orange-flower  water.    In  Chios  the 
okka  sells  for  70  or  80  lepta  or  a  drachma  (a  drachma  = 
100  lepta  ==  8k/.). 

:!        A  yohk  I//dudrial  Enterprise  for  Eiu/Ush  Friends, 
Of  tlie  highest  importance  to  all  Greece,  would  be  the 
founding  of  a  large  wine  establishment,  which,  in  the  month 
of  September,  would  buy  wine-must  for  low  prices,  and  con- 
vert it  into  wine.    The  product  could  be  retailed  in  England 

:  three  or  four  months  later  as  costly  Greek  wine.  During  the 
present  year  a  mpotza  (5  pints)  of  all  kinds  of  must  could 
have  been  bought  for  2,  3,  or  4  kreuzers  (a  kreuzer  is  a  third 
of  a  penny).  The  poor  people  could  not  find  casks,biit  tried  to 
keep  it  in  clay  vessels  Q.a\\Gd2ntharien.  Hundreds  of  thousands 
of  okkas  of  this  superfluous  must  were  boiled  down  to  the  syrup 
called  in  Turkish  hctmisc,  and  used  as  a  sweetening 
material  for  preserving  other  fruits,  or  for  strengthening 
other  weak  wines.  An  okka  of  this  concentrated  must 
sold  this  year  for  2  or  3  drachmas.  Layers  of  almonds  or 
walnuts  strung-  on  threads  are  often  immersed  in  this  syrup, 
and  when  loft  for  several  months  they  form  an  aoreeable  and 
nouri.shing  side-dish.  They  are  called  tutzithm,  or  "wine 
sausages."  Another  dish  frequently  prepared  from  must  is 
the  so-called  m(/,<teZr?fria,  from  miistiini.  and  aleirroii,  "meal." 
The  must  is  boiled  to  a  strong  jelly  witli  fine  meal,  almonds 
are  added,  and  the  whole  is  completely  dried  in  a  baker's 

':  oven.  The  surface  is  strewn  with  sesame  seeds  ;  it  is  tlien 
cut  m  pieces,  and  ke])t  in  boxes. 

This  preparation  turns  white  after  a  few  weeks  from  the 
crystaUisation  of  sugar  on  its  surface.

THE  CHEMICAL  SOCIETY, 
Thursday,  January  16. 
Dr.  Gladstone,  President,  in  the  chair. 
The  following  papers  were  read : — 

"  On  the  Action  of  Isobutyric  Anhydride  on  the  Aromatic 
Aldehydes,"  by  W.  H.  Perkin.  The  author  has  studied  the 
action  of  isobutyric  anhydride  on  cuminic  aldehyde,  hydride 
of  benzoyl,  cinnamic  aldehyde,  paroxybenzoic  and  anisic 
aldehydes.  The  bodies  formed  are  respectively— ;9.  isopro- 
pylbutenylbenzene,  /3.  butenybenzene,  butenylcinnamcne, 
parabutenylphenol,  and  /3.  parabutenylanisol. 

"  On  Two  New  Methods  for  the  Estimation  of  Minute 
Quantities  of  Carbon,  and  their  Application  to  Water 
Analysis,"  by  Drs.  Dupre  and  Hake.  The  first  consists  in  burn- 
ing the  substance  in  a  cm-rent  of  oxygen  in  a  combustion- 
tube,  with  oxide  of  copper,  absorbing  the  carbonic  acid  in  a 
Pettenkoffer  tube  with  baryta  water,  filtering  off  the  barium 
carbonate  with  great  care,  converting  into  chloride,  then 
into  sulphate,  and  weighing.  In  the  second,  the  carbonic 
acid  passes  into  a  2  joer  cent,  solution  of  basic  acetate  of  lead, 
and  the  turbidity  compared  with  that  produced  by 
solutions  of  carbon  of  known  strength  in  a  Mill's  colorimeter. 

"  On  Stannic  Ethide,"'  by  Dr.  Frankland  and  Mr.  A.  Law- 
rence. By  treating-  zinc  ethyl  with  successive  quantities  of 
fused  stannous  cldoride,  the  authors  liave  prepared  the  stan- 
nic ethide  with  great  facility  ;  they  have  also  examined  its 
properties,  and  specially  investigated  the  action  of  sulphurous 
acid. 

"  On  Aurin,"  by  R.  S.  Dale  &  C.  Schorlemmer.  The  authors 
have  jH-epared  pure  aurin  with  great  care,  and  confirmed  the 
formula  whicli  tliey  Iiave  alreadj'  assigned  to  it.  Tliey  have 
also  studied  ammonia  aurin,  tetrabromavfrin,  and  the  com- 
pounds formed  by  aurin  with  acetic,  sulphuric,  hydrochloric, 
and  nitric  acids. 

"  On  the  Derivatives  of  Diisobutyl,"  by  W.  Carleton 
Williams. 

"  On  the  Action  of  Chlorine  upon  Iodine,"  by  J.  B.  Hannaz. 
The  author  confirms  his  previous  conclusion — viz.,  that 
a  body  containing  one  atom  of  iodine  and  four  atoms  of 
chlorine  docs  not  exist. 

Thursday,  Fehruary  6. 
Dr.  Gladstone,  President,  in  the  chair. 

This  meeting  was  occupied  by  the  discu.ssion  "  On  the 
Processes  for  Determining  the  Organic  Parity  of  Potable 
Waters,"  a  paper  read  by  Professor  Tidy  some  time  since. 
Dr.  Frankland  opened  the  discussion,  and  criticised  at  some 
length  the  objections  urged  by  Professor  Tidy  against  his 
method  of  estimating  the  carbon  and  nitrogen  in  a  water 
residue  by  combustion.  The  discussion  was  continued  by 
Mr.  Wanklyn,  Mr,  Kingzett,  Professor  Bischof,  Dr.  Voelcker, 
Dr.  Grosjean,  Dr.  Dupre,  Mr.  W.  Thorp,  and  Dr.  Hake.  Pro- 
fessor Tidy  then  briefly  replied,  and  the  proceedings  ter- 
minated with  a  unanimous  vote  of  thanks  from  a  crowded 
meeting  to  Profes.sor  Tidy  for  his  paper. 


Ijcisonaf  tics. 

Dr.  Ml'ter  has  been  chosen  President  of  the  Society  of 
Public  Analysts  in  place  of  Dr.  Dupre,  whose  term  of  oflice 
had  expired. 

The  Students  of  the  Central  School  of  Cliemistry  and 
Pharmacy  lately  presented  their  teachers,  Messrs.  Lulf  and 
Woodland,  with  a  handsome  testimonial,  consisting  of  an 
escritoire  and  a  timepiece  ;  the  presentations,  which  were 
accompanied  by  an  illuminated  address  signed  by  a  large 
number  of  students,  were  made  at  the  School  amid  much 
enthusiasm  on  the  part  of  the  students. 

The  Will  and  Codicil  of  Mr.  James  Baiss,  late  of 
Jewry  Street,  drug  mcrcliant,  and  of  The  Fir.?,  Brenchley, 
Kent,  who  died  on  August  16  last,  was  proved  on  .lanuary  10 
by  Mrs.  Ann  Baiss,  the  widow,  Mr.  Sydney  S.  Baiss,  the 
son,  and  Mr.  Robert  Monckton,  the  executors,  the  personal 
estate  being  sworn  under  16,000/.  Tlie  testator  leaves  to 
his  wife  a  pecuniary  legacy  of  100/.,  and  all  his  wines, 
liquors,  and  consumable  store,  absolutely  ;  and  for  life  or 
widowhood  the  use  of  his  furniture,  and  the  income  of  the 
residue  of  his  property.  On  her  death  or  second  marriage 
the  residue  is  given  to  all  the  children  equally.—  City  Press.

The  accompanying  diagrams  represent  the  montlily  variations  in  tlie  price  of  opium  during 
the  past  twenty  years.  The  course  of  the  market  may  be  followed  by  reading  first  the  solid 
line  throughout  both  diagrams,  and  continuing  with  the  dotted  line.  The  opium  market  is 
sulijcct  to  many  quite  legitimate  causes  of  lluctuation,  but  it  is  also  peculiarly  liable  to 


THE  ABANDONMENT  OF  THE  tSHEPPEKLKY  CA«E. 


THE  Loiirrt  says  the  Apothecaries'  Society  is,  doubtless, 
well  advised  in  abandoning  the  case  against  Shepperley. 
It  was  a  badly-managed  business  from  the  first,  and,  as  a 
test  cnse,  practically  useless.  The  illness  of  the  supposi- 
titious patient  had  no  real  existence.  The  druggist  saw 
through  the  trick  (tricks  are  always  immoral  and  deserve  to 
be  "  seen  through"),  and  he  recommended  a  placeho.  In 
short,  it  was  not  a  honn-fidc  case  of  prescribing,  and  nothing 
■would  be  gained  by  carrying  it  further.  At  the  same  time, 
it  should  be  distinctly  understood,  and,  to  that  end,  expressly 
stated,  that  there  is  not  tlie  slightest  intention  of  waiving 
the  question  at  issue  between  the  Chemists  and  Druggists' 
Association  and  the  Apothecaries'  Society,  and  which  it 
was  the  purpose  of  this  case  to  raise.  If  the  Apothecaries' 
Society  failed  in  its  mission  to  defend  the  medical  profession 
by  enforcing  the  provisions  of  the  Apothecaries'  Act,  it  would 
lose  the  last  vestige  of  a  claim  to  recogniton.  The  Medical 
Act  of  1858  was  framed  on  the  presumption  that  tlie  Act  of 
1815,  as  amended,  would  serve  for  all  purposes  of  defence 
against  (he  encroachment  of  tlie  chemists.  For  the  sake  of 
that  Act,  mainly,  added  to  some  sentiment  of  gratitude  to 
the  old  company  (as  it  was  then  not  too  proud  to  call  itself) 
for  services  rendered  to  medical  education,  the  Society  was 
tolerated,  and  even  admitted  to  share  the  dirinitij  of  repre- 
sentation in  tlie  Medical  Council — whatever  that  may 
amount  to  !  IE  it  is  not  prepared  to  keep  the  back  door  of 
the  profession  .against  intruders  of  the  class  who  practise 
nefariously  while  the  guardians  of  the  Act  of  18.)8  defend 
us  against  the  pretenders  who  assume  titles  to  which  they 
have  no  claim,  the  Society  will  speedily  cease  to  exist. 


[We  are  not  surprised  that  those  who  a  little  while  ago 
all-hailed  the  Shepperlej'  case  as  a  test  of  the  legal  right  of 
chemists  to  prescribe  over  their  coixnters  should  now  be 
eager  to  .show  that  it  tested  nothing.  If  it  did  no  more,  it 
tested  public  opinion,  as  the  Apothecaries'  Society  is  not 
likely  to  forget.  The  statement  that  the  Medical  Act  of 
1858  was  framed  on  the  presumption  that  the  Act  of  1815 
would  serve  as  a  defence  against  the  encroachments  of 
chemists  is  a  fact  known  only  to  the  Lancet.  We  have 
reason  to  know  that  the  framers  of  that  Act  were  pressed  to 
include  in  it  some  legislation  against  chemists,  but  they 
declined  to  risk  more  opposition  than  that  which  tliey  were 
already  sure  of. —  Ed.  C.  &  D.] 


Jforcign  litems. 

Hong  Kong. — A  disastrous  fire  "oroke  out  in  Hong  Kong 
on  December  25.  Large  quantities  of  opium  and  other 
merchandise  were  destroyed. 

^  Damar. — Java  exported  12.052  piculs  of  damar  in  the 
year  ending  June  .30,  1877,  and  12,079  piculs  in  the  previous 
12  months.    The  picul  is  135  lbs.  10  oz. 

Quinine  in  Cyprus. — A  correspraident  of  the  B(nhjNen% 
who  has  lived  so  long  in  Cyprus  that  he  has  almost  for- 
gotten his  own  language,  says  : — "  The  country  people  do 
not  take  much  medicine,  simplj'  because  they  cannot  pro- 
cure it.  In  the  towns  apothecaries  sell  adulterated  drugs; 
pure  quinine  can  seldom  be  obtained,  magnesia  being  used. 
Many  of  the  poor  people  believe  themselves  cured  by  incan- 
tations and  priestcraft."

the  influence  of  speculation.  The  frequency  with  which  the  quotations  rise  or  fall  in  the 
early  months  of  the  year,  before  the  information  respecting  the  new  crop  gets  accurately 
known,  testifies  to  the  varying  success  of  "bulls  "  or  "  bears." 


Barbary  Gum. — Only  900  cwt.  of  brown  barbary  gum 
was  exported  from  the  port  of  Satfi,  Morocco,  in  1877.  This 
is  much  less  than  in  previous  years.  All  of  it  came  to  Great 
Britain. 

Egyptian  Opium.— From  all  Egj^ptian  ports  in  1877, 
j  1,223  okes  (about  3,300  lbs.)  of  opium,  valued  at  2,080^.,  were 
iexported.  Of  this  quantity  Austria  purchased  95,  Franco 
■|320,  Britain  loG,  and  Italy  52  okes.  Turkey  and  Greece, 
1  which  purchase  many  things  from  Egypt,  take  no  opium. 

Peruvian  Drugs. — The  gross  estimate  of  exports  from 
the  port  of  Arica  during  the  year  ending^December  31,  1877, 
mentions  the  following  articles  : — Peruvian  bark,  5,056'05 
quintals,  valued  at  67,414Z. ;  bismuth,  9R8-84  quintals,  valued 
at  4,030/.  2s.  9d. ;  cocoa  {i.e.,  coca),  174-88  quintals,  worth 
1,165Z.  17s. ;  ratania,  8-2  quintals,  valued  at  95Z.  13s. 

,j  Sulphur  in  Sicily. — A  company  has  been  formed  to 
Ijacquire,  work,  and  develop  sulphur  find  other  mines  in  the 
^island  of  Sicily.  It  is  registered  with  a  capital  of  10,000Z. 
iThe  directors  are  empowered  to  adopt  an  unregistered 
agreement  of  September  10,  1878,  between  the  Sicilian 
Sulphur  Mines  Company  (Limited)  and  others,  relating  to 
.the  leases  or  concessions  of  tlie  Gibellini  Mines,  from  which 
the  new  company  takes  its  title. 

Haytian  Plants. — Mr.  Langston,  of  the  United  States 
■Legation  at  Port-au- Prince,  in  Hayti,  in  a  report  states,  on 
the  authority  of  Dr.  J.  B.  Delroux,  "  the  most  learned  and 
'scientific  man  of  tliis  republic,"  that  there  are  not  less 
than  2,000  varieties  of  plants  in  the  country,  but  that  not 
more  than  600  have  been  examined  and  classified.  A 
'variety  of  Datura,  described  as  Straiiioiiip  epincuw,"  is 
stated  to  possess  wonderful  narcotic  properties. 


Peruvian  Cinchona  Barks. — The  Peruvian  Government 
has  recentl}''  issued  new  regulations  for  the  collection  of 
cinchona  bark.  The  following  is  a  summary  : — Article  1 
permits  the  collection  of  cinchona  bark  (CascaHlla)  in  all 
the  "  departamentos  "  of  the  Kepublic,  except  in  the  liilly 
regions  of  Sandiaand  Tambopata  in  the  department  of  Sandia, 
which  yield  Cancai-iUa  caltsaya.  Article  2  forbids  the 
collection  of  bark  excepit  according  to  the  rules  already 
established.  Article  3  commands  the  Prefect  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Puno  to  provide  a  commissioner  with  a  permanent 
staff  of  men  to  prevent  the  cutting  of  CascariUa  calhaya  on 
the  hills  of  Sandia  and  Tambopata.  Article  4  instructs  the 
prefects  of  all  departments  in  which  the  CascariUa  grows, 
Puno  being  specially  mentioned,  to  forward  to  the  Bureau 
of  the  Secretary  of  State  plants  and  seeds  of  all  the 
dift'erent  varieties  of  the  tree,  with  the  joopular  names  by 
which  they  are  known. 

Counter  Practice  in  France. — The  law  against  the 
illegal  exercise  of  medicine  in  France  is  very  severe,  but  if 
it  were  generally  enforced  pharmacy  would  be  impossible. 
Lately  a  man  had  a  slight  Inirn,  and  liis  wife  fetched  from  a 
jiharmacien  a  few  sous  worth  of  "  eau  blanche,"  or  lead 
lotion.  The  man  died  a  few  days  after,  according  to  the 
testimony  of  the  physician  who  attended  him,  of  tetanus. 
The  Government  medical  officer  who  had  to  register  the 
death  reported  the  cause  of  death  to  have  been  cerebral 
hemorrhage.  The  widow,  liowever,  took  tlie  fancy  that  it 
was  the  lotion  of  the  pharmacien  which  had  killed  her  hus- 
band, and  she  consequently  laid  a  cliargc  against  him.  The 
lotion  was  anal3-scd  and  the  case  came  on.  The  evidence 
was  too  weak  to  convict  the  poor  pharmacien  of  man- 
slaughter, but  the  Court  fined  liim  625f.  for  the  illegal 
exercise  of  pharmacy  '

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 


[Febniary  15,  1879. 


PnosPHATE  IX  Canada. — An  important  discovery  of  rich 
deposits  of  phosphate  of  lime  has  Ijeen  made  in  Ottawa 
County,  Canada.  The  Deputy  of  the  Ministry  of  Public 
Works  has  visited  the  place,  and  has  brought  thence  some 
remarkably  rich  specimens.  The  value  of  the  land  in  the 
neighbourhood  has  risen  immensely,  and  qtrite  a  "rush" 
has  taken  place.  It  is  also  reported  that  the  Ritchie  phos- 
phate mine,  on  the  river  Licvre,  has  been  bought  by  an 
EnglLsh  companj-  for  1 3,O0OZ. 

A  Pharmacien  tried  for  Murder. — Towards  the  end 
of  last  j-ear  a  jiharmacion  of  Rome,  namcil  Franrois  Amato, 
was  tried  at  the  Assizes  of  that  city  on  a  charge  of  having 
poisoned  a  certain  priest  named  Father  Grossi  by  hemlock 
live  years  previously.  It  seems  hardly  possible,  but  the 
report  from  which  we  take  our  facts  declares  that  the 
accused  had  been  detained  in  prison  through  all  those  live 
years  !  The  trial  lasted  all  through  a  day  and  a  good  way 
into  the  night.  The  questions  submitted  to  the  -jury  were, 
Did  Father  Grossi  die  of  poison  ?  and.  Did  Amato  ad- 
minister the  poison  ?  The  prisoner,  who  had  borne  himself 
with  remarkable  coin'age  through  all  the  five  years  and 
during  the  trial,  broke  down  during  the  interval  while  the 
jury  were  absent.  When  they  returned  lie  had  to  be  sup- 
ported by  tlie  oflicers  of  the  court.  The  first  question  was 
put,  and  the  foreman  answered.  No  !  Then  the  President 
said  to  the  prisoner,  "Amato,  the  jmy  not  only  acquits  you, 
but  finds  that  no  crime  wa.s  committed.  You  are  free  !  " 
And  .so  the  poor  man,  after  five  years"  punishment  for 
nothing,  regained  his  liberty. 

Camphor  in  China.— l\Ir.  B.  C.  George  Scott,  H.M. 
Acting  Vico-Consul  at  Tams\ii,  gives  some  interesting  notes 
on  the  camphor  trade  of  China  in  his  report  on  the  c  m- 
merce  of  the  ports  of  Tamsui  and  Kelnng,  on  the  island  of 
Taiwan.  The  export  of  this  product,  whicli  had  shown  a 
considcralile  falling-olf  in  the  returns  for  the  two  previous 
years,  advanced  to  a  higher  point  in  1877  than  had  been 
attained  for  manj'  j-ears  past.  With  the  exception  of  tea 
it  is  by  far  the  most  valuable  export  of  the  district,  repre- 
senting as  it  does  in  the  Customs  returns  a  value  of  some 
23,710^.;  coal,  wliich  comes  next,  only  showing  a  value  of 
19,G:iO?.  The  trade  in  camphor  presents  one  or  two  features 
of  some  interest.  Formosa  is  one  of  the  few  districts  in 
the  world  producing  campho",  the  others  being  Japan  and 
some  piarts  of  the  Malay  Archipelago.  The  tree  from  wliicli 
it  is  obtained  {ramplumi  ajficinnrnm')  is  said  not  to  be 
known  on  the  mainland  of  China;  at  any  rate,  camphor  is 
not  extracted  from  it  there.  The  camphor-prodvrcing  tree 
of  the  Malay  Archij}elago  difTers  from  that  growing  in  For- 
mosa and  Japan,  and  in  addition  to  the  crude  camphor  pro- 
duces a  valuable  medicinal  gum  known  as  camphor  bai'oos 
in  the  Chinese  import  tariff,  the  duty  on  which  is  no  less 
than  1  to  3  taels  per  catty,  or  Tys.  loyi.  per  lb.  The  For- 
mosan  tree  does  not  produce  this  gum.  The  entire  produce 
of  the  year  was,  with  the  exception  of  about  28  piculs,  sent 
direct  to  Hong  Kong  for  transmission  to  other  foreign 
countries,  chiefly  to  Great  Britain.  Camphor  is  tlie  oiily 
commodity,  either  of  import  or  export,  for  wiiich  the 
Transit  pass  system  is  made  use  of  at  Tamsui.  The  amount 
brought  from  the  interior  during  the  year  under  Transit 
pass  was  only  2,.')2G-78  piculs,  and  this  represents  as  nearly 
as  may  be  the  shiiiments  on  foreign  account,  tlie  rest  of  the 
trade  being  conlincd  entirely  to  Chinese.  A  hydraulic  press 
has  lately  been  set  up  by  one  of  the  foreign  firms  trading  here 
for  pressing  the  camphor  before  shipment.  Hitherto,  owing 
to  its  being  comparatively  loosely  packed,  and  containing  a 
large  percentage  of  water  absorbed  during  its  sublimation 
from  the  wood,  the  loss  by  evaporation  between  Tamsui  and 
Hong  Kong  was  xerj  large.  The  Customs  allow  for  an  esti- 
mated decrease  of  .5  percent.  ;  in  former  years  as  much  as  11 
per  cent,  was  the  allowance.  But  it  is  said  that  the  loss  in 
the  camplun-  submitted  to  the  hydraulic  press  is  much  less 
than  tlic  Customs  allowance,  and  that  the  new  system  of 
packing  is  attended  with  most  beneficial  results.  At  present 
Chinese  shi^jpers  have  not  taken  advantage  of  the  press, 
preferring  for  some  inscrutable  reason  the  old  method  of 
packing;  they  are,  however,  far  too  much  alive  to  their 
own  interest  to  continue  to  do  so,  and  before  long,  no  doubt, 
the  bulk  of  the  camphor  shipped  will  be  packed  by  the 
press  introduced  by  the  enterprising  firm  alluded  to  aliovo 
at  a  very  considerable  outlay. 


Peruvian  Bark. — Vice-Consul  Cliambers'  "  Report  on 
the  Trade  and  Commerce  of  Guayaquil  for  the  year  1877  " 
states  that  the  export  of  Peruvian  bark  "shows  a  large 
increase  of  4, .519  quintals  over  1875  and  5,097  quintals  over 
1876.  This,  doubtless,  was  caused  in  some  measure  by  the 
detention  of  a  considerable  amount  in  the  interior,  owing  to 
the  interrupted  communication  between  the  provinces 
where  tJiis  article  is  obtained,  and  Guayaquil,  during  the 
troubled  times  from  September  to  December,  1876,  thus 
leaving  a  part  of  the  produce  of  that  year  for  exportation 
in  1877."  The  price  per  quintal  at  Guaj'aquil  in  1876  was 
70.?. ;  in  1877,  68.<(.  Tlie  total  amount  exported  in  the  latter 
year  was  9,882  quintals,  valued  at  29,04:6?. 


Breach  of  Tru.st. - 

At  the  Central  Criminal  Court  on  January  15,  Julian  Loire, 
29,  nephew  to  Mr.  Jules  Denoual,  medical  capsule  maker, 
Kew  Cross  Road,  was  tried  on  a  charge  of  embezzling  various 
monies  belonging  to  his  uncle,  by  whom  he  was  employed. 
He  iiad  been  entrusted  with  the  management  of  the  busi- 
ness, Mr.  Denoual  living  usually  in  Normandy.  Some  bad 
.speculations  and  mislrading  by  the  prisoner  had  come  to 
light  previously,  but  this  had  been  overlooked.  Afterwards, 
however,  the  prisoner  had  absconded,  and  then  it  was  found 
that  he  had  received  sums  of  money  for  which  he  had  never 
accounted.  The  prisoner,  who  was  undefended,  said  if  he 
had  received  those  sums  he  had  expended  them  in  the 
management  of  the  business.  The  jury  found  him  Guilty, 
but  recommended  him  to  mercy  on  the  ground  that  the  pro- 
secutor ought  to  have  exercised  a  more  strict  supervision  of 
tlie  accounts.  The  Recorder  sentenced  the  pirisoner  to  six 
months'  imprisonment. 


Fruit  Salt. 

An  action  was  concluded  last  month  in  Vice- Chancellor 
Bacon's  Court,  in  which  Mr.  Eno,  the  proprietor  of  Eno's- 
Fruit  Salt,  was  the  plaintiff,  and  a  Mr.  Stephens,  a  chemist 
at  Hereford,  was  the  defendant. 

The  ])laintitf  had  previously  obtained  an  interlocutory 
injunction  against  the  defendant,  and  he  now  sought  to 
make  the  same  periietual,  prohibiting  the  use  of  the  terms- 
"  fruit  salt,"  "fruit  balm,"  "fruit  powder,"  on  defendant's 
labels.  He  also  objected  to  the  registration  by  defendant  of 
a  trade-mark  involving  a  bunch  of  grapes,  which  was  a  part 
of  jilaintiff's  trade-fnark.  Appilication  was  also  made  to  re- 
strain the  defendant  from  publishing  a  circular  worded 
similarly  to  that  of  the  plaintiff,  and  for  an  account  for 
dama'jes. 

Sir  Henry  .Jackson,  Q.C.,  and  Mr.  Cutter  appeared  for  the 
plaintiff,  and  Mr.  Hemming,  Q.C.,  and  Mr.  GifEard  repre- 
sented the  defendant. 

Evidence  was  tendered  to  the  effect  that  the  defendant 
had  used  the  term  "vinous  fruit  salt  "  since  the  injunction. 
The  defendant's  circular  was  also  read,  and  it  corresponded 
almost  exactly  with  one  issued  by  the  plaintiff. 

Dr.  Jolm  Nicholson  Fleming,  son-in-law  of  plaintiff, 
examined  by  Mr.  Cutter,  said  he  had  managed  the  plaintiff's 
business  for  the  last  four  years.  He  verified  the  wrappers 
used  by  the  pl:iintilf,  and  a  bottle  of  the  preiiaration  as 
s  lid.  lie  purchased  oue  or  two  bottles  of  defendant's  pre- 
paration in  December,  1877,  and  two  in  March,  1878.  The 
bottle  produced  was  one  purchased  in  December,  1877;  it 
was  then  wrapped  up  in  the  chocolate -coloured  wrapper 
]iroduced,  and  around  it  was  a  circular.  Of  the  tw^o  bought 
in  March,  one  was  opened  at  the  solicitor's  office,  and

had  the  words  "  fruit  salt."  The  other  one  was  opened  in 
Conrt,  and  had  not  these  objectionable  words.  Cross-examined 
by  Mr.  Hemming :  He  bought  all  these  bottles  at  Condy's. 
The  witness,  when  asked  what  fruit  it  was  prepared  from, 
claimed  the  protection  of  the  Court,  and  his  Lordship  said  he 
was  not  obliged  to  answer.  The  witness  said  it  was  made 
from  fruit,  but  he  declined  to  say  what.  Effervescing  mixtures 
had  been  in  use  for  many  years.  He  did  not  know  that 
tartaric  acid  and  bicarbonate  of  soda  were  invariably  used 
to  produce  effervescing  mixtures  ;  he  would  not  say  whether 
that  was  what  he  used  unless  compelled.  [The  Vice- Chan- 
cellor did  not  think  the  question  could  be  put.]  He  could 
not  give  the  exact  composition  of  seidlitz  powders.  The 
statements  in  the  circular  were  true  ;  was  quite  sure  it  was 
"  the  best  and  simplest  preparation  for  regulating  the  action 
of  the  liver  that  had  ever  been  invented,"  and  so  on  with  the 
1  other  statements.  He  had  tested  this  preparation  on  him- 
self, and  other  saline  preparations  :  found  others  depressing 
and  this  exhilarating.  Had  not  tested  its  curative  effects  in 
Igout  on  himself.  Was  not  prepared  to  say  that  the  fruit  salt 
would  remove  arsenic  from  the  blood.  He  knew  of  the  cor- 
]  respondcnce  in  Augast,  1877,  between  plaintiff  and  defen- 
dant ;  he  believed  the  defendant  then  undertook  not  to  use 
the  words  "  vinous  fruit  salt,"  and  that  he  pasted  a  label 
I  over  those  words.  The  label  on  the  bottle  purchased  in 
[December  appeared  to  have  had  something  pasted  over  it, 
which  had  been  taken  off. 

I    Ke-examined  :  He  know  that  many  medical  men  recom- 
jmended  this  preparation  to  their  patients. 
'    Professor  Hartley,  examined  by  Sir  H.  Jackson,  was  Lec- 
iturer  and  Demonstrator  of  Chemistry  at  King's  College, 
'member  of  the  Council  of  the  Chemical  Society,  &c.,  said 
ItThe  term  "  fruit  salt  "  did  not  designate  any  chemical  sub- 
iptance  ;  it  was  a  purely  trade  term.  Cross-examined  :  Knew 
that  eilervescing  draughts  were  very  common ;  they  were 
iisually  made  of  tartaric  acid  and  bicarbonate  of  soda ; 
;ream  of  tartar  was  a  product  of  the  grape,  and  from  it 
artaric  acid  was  made ;  tartaric  acid  was  essentially  the 
;rape  acid. 

The  defence  was  directed  exclusivelj^  to  the  support  of 
he  defendant's  claim  to  register  the  trade-mark  which  he 
lad  submitted,  and  it  was  maintained  that  it  was  not 
possible  to  make  a  mistake  between  the  two. 
:  The  Vice- Chancellor  said  he   would  not  trouble  the 
i  plaintiff's  counsel.     He  had  been  much  astonished  that 
!  ifter  the  counsel  for  defendant  had  insisted  on  having  all 
,:he  evidence  previously  given  reproved,  he  had  called  no 
■;  witnesses.     The  evidence    showed  that  defendant  had 
t)  iiepeated,  in  spite  of  his  promise,  that  wliicli  the  plaintiff 

■  '.omplained  of.  The  case  was  entirely  without  defence  or 
txcuse.  The  defendant  stat  es  that  nobody  has  been  deceived, 
out  his  intention  to  deceive  was  not  contradicted.  This 
aised  the  question  which  had  been  tried  along  with  the 

■  ither,  whether  there  was  a  title  to  register  the  trade-mark 
or  which  defendant  proposed  to  apply.  That  depended  on 
ihe  words  of  the  Act  of  Parliament,  "  so  resembling  as  to  be 
alculated  to  deceive."  He  (the  Vice-Chancellor)  was  invited 
b  lay  these  two  devices  side  bj"  side,  and  because  they  were 
iot  identical  and  there  were  great  dift'erences  in  their 
'Xternal  appearance,  to  say  they  were  not  calculated  to 
leceive.  In  his  judgment  it  had  been  plainly  calculated  by 
jae  defendant,  meant  and  contrived  by  him  to  deceive  any 
arson  not  vigilant  enough,  not  only  by  sight,  but  also  by 
lar,  to  detect  at  once  the  diff'erence  between  "  Eno's  "  and 

Vinous,"  the  sounds  being  in  one  mode  of  pronuncia- 
ion  much  alike.      Could  any  living  man    doubt  the 
atention  ?    The    world  is   wide,  and  all  things  in  the 
jnimate  and  inanimate   world   are  open  to  the  defen- 
ant  as  a  device  to  distinguish  his  goods  from  others, 
here  was  much  dissimilarity  between  the  stem  of  the  vine 
■ith  a  bunch  of  grapes  and  some  leaves  with  the  words 
vinous  salt,"  which  the  defendant  proposed  to  register, 
nd  the  plaintiff's  trade-mark,  which  was  a  bunch  of  grapes. 
I'Ut  the  Registrar  was  bound  to  look  at  the  whole  case,  and 
•as  not  to  be  batlled  by  any  mere  similarity  or  dis- 
milarity.     To   his   mind,   there   was  clearly  sufficient 
-■semblance  to  answer  the  strictest  words  of  the  statute, 
'3d  a  resemblance  carefully  and  intentionally  calculated  to 
iceive.    Tiie  injunction  must,  therefore,  go  in  the  terms  in 
hich  the  bill  prayed  for  it,  and  he  must  come  to  the  con- 
usion  that  the  defendant  was  not  entitled  to  register  the 


device  of  a  branch  of  a  vine  with  a  bunch  of  grapes,  and  a 
Latin  motto  and  the  words  "vinous  salt." 

Sir  H.  Jackson  :  Of  course,  my  Lord,  I  must  have  costs. 

Tlie  Vice-Chancellor  :  You  must  have  costs  of  both. 


The  Stores  Squabbling. 
The  Arm}'  and  Navy  Co-operative  Society  (Limited)  came 
before  the  Master  of  the  Rolls  on  January  16  to  ask  for  an 
injunction  to  restrain  the  Junior  Army  and  Navy  Stores 
(Limited),  a  new  comi^any,  from  using  a  title  so  similar,  it 
was  alleged,  that  customers  were  likely  to  be  misled.  The 
Master  of  the  Rolls  refused  the  ai^plication  in  very  decided 
terms.  First,  he  thought  no  sensible  person  could  mistake 
the  one  establishment  for  the  other ;  secondly,  he  ruled  that 
no  one  could  have  an  exclusive'  title  to  the  term  "  Army  and 
Navy,''  which  were  not  the  jiroperty  -of  any  society;  and, 
thirdly,  as  the  plaintiffs  proposed  only  to  deal  with  their 
shareholders  or  with  persons  to  whom  tickets  had  been  fur- 
nished, they  could  not  be  effected  bj^  any  errors  which  the 
public  might  make.  The  motion,  he  said,  was  baseless  and 
groundless,  and  he  refused  it,  with  costs. 


Embezzlement. 
At  Bow  Street  on  February  5,  Henry  Taj'lor,  about  20  years 
of  age,  was  brought  before  Mr.  Vaughan  charged  with 
robbing  liis  employers,  Messrs.  G.  Salter  &  Co.,  brushmakers, 
Red  Lion  Square,  Holborn.  Mr.  Salter  stated  that  on 
Monday  evening  he  accidentally  saw  an  entry  of  some  cash 
in  one  of  the  ledgers  in  the  handwriting  of  ~"the  prisoner, 
which  aroused  his  suspicions.  On  the  following  morning  h 
demanded  an  explanation,  when  Tajdor  confessed  that  he 
had  appropriated  the  money  he  had  received  from  a  customer, 
and  posted  the  amount  in  the  ledger  to  avoid  detection.  He 
begged  for  mercy,  and  admitted  that  he  had  for  the  last 
three  years  been  systematically  robbing  the  lirm  by  taking 
away  goods  and  falsifying  his  accounts. 

The  magistrate  in  severely  commenting  on  the  prisoner's 
conduct  stated  that  it  was  one  of  tlie  worst  cases  of  ingrati- 
tude ever  brought  before  him,  as  he  had  evidently  been 
treated  with  great  consideration  and  kindness  by  his 
employers  during  the  11  years  he  had  held  his  situation.  He 
passed  sentence  of  six  months'  hard  labour,  which  at  the 
urgent  appeal  of  Mr.  Salter  was  commuted  to  four  months. 


Milk  op  Sulphur  Redivivus. 
A  BATCH  of  milk  of  sulphur  cases  came  before  the  Guild- 
ford magistrates  on  the  3rd  inst.,  one  grocer  and  two 
chemists  being  summoned  for  having  sold  as  milk  of 
sulphur  an  article  which  was  not  of  the  nature,  substance, 
and  quality  demanded  by  the  purchaser. 

The  case  against  Mr.  J.  W.  Bentley,  grocer,  was  taken 
first.  Mr.  Arthur  H.  Angell,  of  Southampton,  borough 
analyst,  gave  evidence  that  what  had  been  bought  as  "  milk 
of  sulphur  "  was  really  "  sublimed  sulphur."  If  purchased 
by  the  cask  sublimed  suljjhur  would  ran  about  IGs.  6^^.  per 
cwt.,  while  precipitate  or  milk  of  sulphur  would  cost  38s. 
for  the  like  quantit}-,  and  even  that  would  not  be  a  pure 
article.  There  was  no  lime  in  the  sample,  and  the  article 
was  not  a  medicinal  preparation.  Any  grocer  upon  being 
asked  for  the  medicinal  jjreparation  of  suljDhur  should  refer 
the  intending  purchaser  to  a  druggist. 

By  Mr.  Sells  (a  magistrate)  :  He  believed  there  was  a  law 
which  prohibited  grocers  from  selling  drugs. 

Cross-examined  :  He  regarded  himself  as  the  representa- 
tive of  the  interests  of  the  "  Food  and  Drugs  Acts  "  in  that 
borough.  He  suggested  that  the  grocers,  as  well  as  the 
chemists,  of  the  town  should  be  called  upon  and  asked  for 
the  "  milk  of  sulphur."  There  was  neither  lime,  sulphate 
of  lime,  nor  gypsum  in  pure  "  milk  of  sulphur."  He  was 
not  aware  that  the  term  "milk  of  sulphur"  was  eliminated 
from  the  "  British  Pharmacopoeia  "  in  the  last  edition  of 
1867,  which  he  had  referred  to. 

Re-examined:  He  was  satisfied  that  "milk  of  sulphur" 
and  "  precipitate  of  sulphur  "  were  synonymous  terms. 

For  the  defence  it  was  shown  that  tlie  article  had  been 
sold  by  an  assistant  who  did  not  know  exactly  what  milk  of 
sulphur  was,  biit  who  supposed^  the  purest  kind  would  be 
sure  to  do.

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 


[February  13,  187». 


The  magistrates  resolved  to  hear  the  other  cases  before 
deciding-. 

Mr.  Frederic  Wheeler,  cliemist,  was  next  similarly 
charged.  He,  too,  had  supplied  sublimed  suljDhur.  He  kept 
milk  of  sulphur  in  Ids  shop,  but  considered  that  if  he  had 
supplied  it  he  would  then  have  been  liable  to  prosecution 
for  selling  an  article  containing  lime.  In  this  case  2\d.  had 
been  charged  for  wliat  tlie  grocer  liad  only  charged  \d. 

Lastly,  Sir.  K.  Waller  Martin  was  charged,  but  in  his  case 
the  analyst  stated  that  tlie  article  supplied  was  milk  of 
sulphur,  containing  7'S  per  cent,  of  sulpliate  of  lime.  In 
cross-examination  by  the  defendant,  Mr.  Angell  admitted 
tliat  the  Pharmacopieia  gave  no  formula,  but  he  read  ex- 
tracts from  Atttield's  "Chemistry,"  Muter  s  "  Chemistry,'' 
and  Urc's  "  Dictionary,"  and  said  he  placed  those  authorities 
collectively  before  the  Pharmacopoeia  of  1867. 

By  Mr.  Sells :  It  was  not  a  bad  case  of  adulteration, 
tliere  being  only  a  very  small  proportion  of  lime  in  the 
article. 

Mr.  Sells  said  he  liad  medical  autliorifies  dating  back  to 
1745,  showing  lime  to  be  recognised  as  a  comiDonent  part  of 
"  milk  of  sulpliur." 

Mr.  Angell  observed  that  that  was  before  the  process  of 
precipitation  by  lijalrochloric  acid  was  known. 

Mr.  Sells  said  it  was  so  recognised  down  to  a  very  recent 
period,  and  he  asked  Mr.  Angell  if  lie  was  not  aware  that  it 
was  a  fact  that  the  older  medical  men  in  the  present  day 
preferred  the  old  preparation  of  sulphur  witli  a  small 
quantity  of  lime  in  it  ? 

Mr.  Angell  answered  that  he  was  not  aware  such  was  the 
fact. 

Mr.  Sells  said  he  was  old-fashioned  enough  as  a  medical 
man  to  prefer  the  old  preparation,  and  lie  read  an  extract 
from  the  writings  of  an  eminent  surgeon  of  Liverpool  who 
held  tlie  like  view. 

Mr.  Angell,  in  answer  to  Mr.  Sells,  said  there  was  notliing 
to  prevent  the  preparation  being  made  in  that  way  still ; 
and,  in  answer  to  Mr.  Haydon,  said  that  any  person  supply- 
ing "precipitate  of  sulphur"  when  asked  for  "milk  of 
sulphur  "  would  not  be  substituting  an  inferior  article,  but 
in  supplying  "sublimated  sulpliur  "  they  would  be  giving  an 
inferior  article  to  "  milk  of  sulphur.'' 

Mr.  Martin,  in  defence,  produced  a  report  of  the  Runcorn 
case,  in  which  the  Justices  of  Quarter  Sessions,  including 
Sir  Hardinge  GifYord,  tlie  Solicitor-General,  had  quashed  a 
conviction  obtained  in  a  case  similar  to  this  one. 

The  Bench  then  retired,  and  after  a  short  deliberation  the 
Ma^'or  announced  that  they  had  given  the  cases  serious 
consideration,  and  as  a  result  they  found  that  in  Mr.  AValler 
Martin's  case  the  article  was  sold  as  was  demanded  by  the 
purchaser,  and  the  charge  would  therefore  be  dismissed  ;  in 
the  cases  against  Mr.  Bentley  and  Mr.  Snoxell  (another 
grocer,  whose  case  had  been  previously  heard)  the  Bench  con- 
sidered they  had  acted  wrongly,  but  they  had  cliarged  a  fair 
price  for  the  article  sold,  and  believing  that  a  mistake  only 
liad  been  committed,  they  felt  that  justice  would  be  met  by 
the  nominal  line  of  a  farthing,  which  would  be  inflicted  ;  in 
the  case  of  Mr.  'WTieelcr  it  was  admitted  that  quite  a  different 
article  had  been  knowingly  supplied  by  the  defendant  to 
what  was  demanded,  and  a  line  of  20^.".  and  costs  would  be 
inflicted. 


Head  r.  Cocking. 

This  case  came  before  Vice-Chancellor  Sir  Charles  Hall  on 
February  11,  and  was  a  partnership  action,  in  whicli  the 
plaintift'  asked  for  an  injunction  to  restrain  the  defendant 
from  manufacturing  behind  his  (the  plaintilf's)  back  certain 
felt  medical  bandages  and  splints  for  spinal  diseases, 
according  to  the  defendant's  patents,  and  which  the  part- 
nership was  formed  to  deal  with  ;  and  it  is  also  asked  that 
a  receiver  of  the  partnership  assets  should  be  appointed. 
There  was  a  counter  motion  by  the  defendant  to  stay  pro- 
ceedings in  the  action,  and  to  refer  the  question  in  dispute 
in  the  manner  provided  for  by  the  Common  Law  Procedure 
Act.  Two  i^atents  were  taken  out  by  the  defendant,  John 
Cocking,  for  improvements  in  splints,  medical  bandages,  &c., 
in  1871,  and  those  patents  were  sold  to  a  company  absolutely. 
The  company  was  wound-up,  and  the  plaintiff.  Head,  pur- 
chased the  patents  from  lliem.  Ho  afterwards  entered  into 
a  partnership  agreement  with  Cocking,  the  original  inventor. 


by  which  the  letters  patent  were  to  be  dealt  with  for  the 
mutual  benefit  of  the  two  partners.  The  plaintiff  was  to 
provide  the  capital  at  an  agreed  rate  of  interest,  and  the 
profits  were  to  be  divided  in  equal  shares.  The  plaintiff 
claimed  to  be  the  sole  and  absolute  owner  of  the  patents, 
and  he  charged  the  defendant  with  having  manufactured 
and  licensed  persons  in  London,  Newcastle,  and  elsewhere, 
to  manufacture,  as  his  agents,  splints  and  bandages  accord- 
ing to  the  specifications. 

The  defence  was  that  the  plaintiff  allowed  Cocking  to 
enter  into  arrangements  of  which  complaint  was  now  made, 
that  the  partnership  as  originally  intended  was  to  be  a  mere 
partnership  in  the  royalties  to  be  obtained  from  licences, 
and  that  the  defendant  had  a  perfect  right  to  manufacture, 
and  to  receive  the  money  arising  from  the  manufacture  and 
sale  of  goods,  according  to  the  patents — the  only  obligation 
imposed  upon  him  by  the  partnership  being  that  he  should 
pay  over  to  the  plaintiff  his  share  of  the  royalties. 

Mr.  Eddis,  Q.C.,  and  Mr.  Loughborough  appeared  for  the 
plaintiff,  and  suggested  that  a  receiver  should  be  appointed, 
and  that  all  questions  of  account  in  dispute  should  be 
referred  either  to  the  official  referee  or  to  any  arbitrator 
who  might  be  appointed  for  the  purpose. 

Mr.  Ingle  Joyce,  for  the  defendant,  submitted  that  there 
vfas  no  ground  for  dissolving  the  partnership  without  the 
defendant's  consent.  Mr.  Cocking  had  not  appointed  agents 
to  manufacture  according  to  the  patents,  but  had  simply 
manufactured  the  goods  himself,  as  he  was  perfectly 
entitled  to  do  with  the  knowledge  and  consent  of  the 
plaintiff.  Without  that  consent  he  admitted  he  had  no 
right  to  continue  the  manufacture,  but  the  plaintiff  was  not 
entitled  to  interfere  with  the  return  of  money  already 
expended  by  him.  There  would  be  no  difficulty  in  the 
defendant  giving  an  u.ndertaking  not  in  future  to  manufac- 
ture these  articles  without  the  plaintilf's  consent,  and  he 
was  willing,  without  prejudice  to  any  question  in  the  action, 
to  be  appointed  receiver  himself,  and  to  give  security. 

Ultimately  it  was  arranged  to  take  an  immediate  decree 
for  dissolution  of  partnership,  and  to  refer  the  account  to  the 
Registrar  of  the  County  Court  of  Plymouth,  within  whose 
jurisdiction  the  litigants  reside.  Mr.  Joyce  undertook  that 
the  defendant  should  not  manufacture  any  more  of  the 
patented  articles  in  question  without  the  consent  of  the 
plaintiff,  that  he  should  keep  an  account  of  all  sums  hence- 
forth received,  giving  security  to  refund  the  money  that  he 
might  be  found  liable  to  pay. 

The  Vice-Cliancellor  intimated  that  security  must  be 
given  within  a  fortnight,  or  a  receiver  would  have  to  be 
appointed. 


Eau  de  Cologne. 
An  action  was  brought  on  the  13th  inst.,  in  the  Chancery 
Division,  before  Vicc-Chancellor  Sir  Charles  Hall,  by  Mr.  J 
M.  Farina,  gegenuber  dem  Julich  Platz,  Cologne,  to  restrain, 
the  registration  of  three  trade-marks  in  England,  by  a  Mr. 
Bucliliolz,  who  traded  under  the  name  of  "Johann  Maria 
Farina,"  at  Cologne.  The  marks  objected  to  were  the  sig- 
natures on  the  label,  the  design  placed  over  the  cork,  and  a 
picture  of  a  house  with  the  words  "  gegeniiber  dem  Elogius 
Platz."  The  first  two  marks  the  "S^ice- Chancellor  at  once 
decided  could  not  be  registered.  AVith  regard  to  the  third, 
one  German  Court  had  found  against  it,  but  a  Court  of 
Appeal  had  allowed  it.  For  his  own  part,  he  believjd  it  was 
intended  to  deceive,  and  therefore  he  should  not  pj  mit  the 
registration.    The  respondent  to  pay  costs. 


Sampeii  v.  Holloway. 
Before  Vice-Chancellor  Malins  on  February  13,  IMr.  John 
Pearson,  Q.C.,  said  that  in  an  action  by  Antonio  Samper,  a 
merchant  and  wholesale  druggist  of  Bogota,  United  States 
of  Colombia,  South  America,  against  Thomas  Holloway,  the 
maker  of  the  well-known  pills,  he  had  to  move  under  very 
extraordinary  circumstances  for  an  injunction  to  restrain 
Mr.  Holloway  from  continuing  to  insert  in  the  newspapers 
published  in  the  United  States  of  Colombia  the  most 
outrageous  libel  against  Mr.  Samper  that  the  Court  had 
ever  lieard  of,  and  a  libel  inserted  without  any  provocation, 
and  upon  the  foundation  only  of  a  letter  written  to  the 
defendant  by  a  per.son  with  whom  he  had  no  acquaintance.

and  of  whose  existence  he  had  no  evidence.  The  applica- 
tion was  supported  by  the  aflidavit  of  Alessandro  Barega, 
the  partner  and  son-in-law  of  Samper,  who,  being  in 
Paris,  received  by  the  last  mail  a  communication 
from  his  firm  informing  him  of  the  publication  of 
these  advertisements.  By  these  advertisements  the  de- 
fendant states  that  it  had  come  to  his  knowledge  that 
Antonio  Samper,  a  wholesale  dealer  in  drugs,  was  importing 
enormous  quantities  of  spurious  ointments  and  p)ills  passed 
off  as  genuine  articles  of  the  defendant's  manufacture,  and 
the  public  were  cautioned  against  purchasing  "  these 
despicable  compounds,  which  are  not  onlj'  harmful,  but 
often  productive  of  very  serious  consequences."  Antonio 
Samper  did  not  import  an  "  enormous  "  or  any  quantity 
of  spurious  pills  from  the  United  States  or  any  other  place, 
which  were  passed  off  as  the  defendant's  ;  but  he  liad  im- 
ported large  quantities  of  pills  and  ointments  which  he  had 
obtained  from  the  defendant's  own  establishment  in  London. 
Mr.  Glasse,  Q.C.,  who,  with  BIr.  Danney,  appeared  for  the 
defendant,  said  that  his  client  had  suffered  very  serious 
injury  from  spurious  imitations  of  his  goods  made  by 
the  Americans,  who  were  clever  enough  even  to  imitate 
the  Government  stamp.  Mr.  J.  Pearson,  Q.C.,  alto- 
gether denied  that  Mr.  Samper  had  dealt  in  any  such 
goods.  It  appeaxed  that  the  defendant  had  given  orders  for 
continuing  the  advertisements  in  Bogota  for  six  montlis,  and 
their  insertion  was  calculated  to  cause  great  injury  to  tlie 
plaintiff.  The  Vice-Chancellor  :  It  has  been  said  that  this 
Court  has  no  power  to  stop  the  p)ublication  of  a  liliel.  Mr. 
Pearson,  Q.C.,  observed  that  the  Judicature  Act  gave  that 
power,  and  he  asked  the  Court  to  order  the  advertisements 
to  be  stopped  by  telegraph.  When  Mr.  Holloway  was 
written  to  on  the  subject,  Mr.  Bowen  May,  his  solicitor, 
wrote : — "Mr.  Holloway  has  done  nothing  to  his  knowledge 
to  damage  your  clients."  The  Vice-Cliancellor  :  You 
swear  that  you  do  not  sell  any  but  genaine  pills  and 
ointment,  and  I  should  think  that  upon  that  statement 
Mr.  Holloway  would  be  willing  at  once  to  withdraw  the 
advertisements  complained  of.  The  advertisements  are  such 
as  ought  not  to  be  inserted  without  great  certainty  of  their 
truth.  Mr.  Pearson,  Q.C. :  I  want  costs  and  damages.  The  Vice- 
Chancellor  :  But  you  cannot  get  either  at  the  present  stage. 
I  should  think  that  if  they  withdraw  the  advertisements, 

-  u  ind  apologise  for  the  error  that  they  seem  to  have  fallen 

iinto,  that  would  be  sufficient.    Mr.  Pearson,  Q.C.  :  I  desire 
lOthing  more.    Mr.  Glass,  Q.C.  :  Their  statement  is  tliat  the 
an    jprder  for  the  advertisements  was  only  for  six  months,  and 
!«•     fhat  time  has  expired.    Mr.  Pearson,  Q.C.  :  By  the  last  mail 
|ive  hear  that  the  publication  is  still  going  on.    Mr.  Glasse, 
^.C. :  I  will  consent  to  omit  the  name  of  Antonio  Samjjer, 
'>ut  I  will  not  discontinue  the  advertisement.    Mr.  Pearson, 
Q,.C. :  If  you  publish  another  advertisement  which  does  not 
^      llflEect  me  I  shall  take  no  notice  of  it.    Mr.  Glasse,  Q.C. : 
l'^'  '    jChese  spurious  imitations  do  very  great  injury  to  my  client, 
vhose  profits  amoimt  to  50,000^.  a  year,  and  who  spends 
lOjOOOZ.  a  year  in  advertisements.  There  can  be  no  objection 
li*      ;o  the  first  part  of  the  advertisement,  which  runs  thus  : — 
'^^      1' Beware  of  American  counterfeits.     I  beg  leave,  most 
9  'espectfully,  to  call  the  attention  of  the  public  generally  to 
1^  a  '^^  ^^^^        certain  houses  in  New  York  are  manufacturing 
ff  ipurious  imitations  of  my  pills  and  ointment,"  and  I  am 
« j  ■  iivilling  for  the  sake  of  peace  to  omit  the  name  of  the 

-  I  )laintilf  from  the  latter  part,  so  that  it  shall  read :—"  It 

laving  come  to  my  knowledge  that  divers  persons  import 
nto  your  city  a  number  of  pills  and  ointments  from  the 
Jnited  States,  which  on  a  large  scale  are  passed  olt  as  my 
genuine  ones,"  and  then  the  advertisement  will  go  on  as  it 
lands  at  present.  Ultimately  it  was  agreed  that  the  name 
'_f  Mr.  Antonio  Samper  should  be  struck  out  of  the  adver- 
•isement,  and  that,  if  possible,  the  alteration  should  be 
lirected  by  telegraph.

The  debtor,  lately  trading  as  above,  under  the  firm  of  •'  Joha 
T.  Allen  &  Co.,"  and  now  out  of  business,  had  filed  a  petition 
for  liquidation,  and  furnished  accounts  disclosing  liabilities 
to  the  amount  of  2,0.59^.  8s.  lOd.,  with  assets  2381.  8.s\  At 
the  meeting  of  creditors  held  on  December  18  a  composition 
of  L<i.  6d.  in  the  pound,  secured  by  Mr.  John  Allen,  of 
Frederick  Place,  Plumstead,  was  accepted  in  satisfaction  of 
tlie  debts,  paj'able  within  one  month  from  the  registration 
of  the  resolutions  ;  and,  on  the  case  coming  before  Mr. 
Eegistrar  Murray  last  month,  His  Honour  ordered  the 
resolutions  to  be  registered.  The  following  were  in  the  list 
of  creditors  :-—

J.  W.  .Jackson,  Druggists'  Sundriesman,  Ship  "Street  and 
Old  Steyne,  Brighton. 

This  failure  occurred  in  August,  1876,  and  liquidation  by 
arrangement  was  afterwards  resolved  upon,  the  accounts 
disclosing  unsecured  debts  ],376Z.,  and  debts  fully  secured 
3,861)?.,  with  assets  Sll.  7s.  At  ,a  meeting  recently  held  a 
scheme  of  arrangement  was  assented  to,  and  Mr.  Copp 
applied  to  tlie  Court  on  the  6th  inst.  for  the  confirmation  of 
tlie  resolutions.  It  seemed  that  the  creditors  had  authorised 
the  trustee  to  accept  an  offer  made  by  Mrs.  Emma  Jackson, 
the  debtor's  mother,  to  pay  a  sum  of  120?.  upon  the  terms  of 
the  liquidation  being  closed,  and  the  discharge  of  the 
debtor  granted.  The  chief  clerk,  in  reporting  upon  the 
matter,  stated  that  the  former  trustee  in  the  matter,  an 
accountant  named  John  Pattison,  had  absconded.  He  pointed 
out  that  the  resolutions  did  not  specify  a  time  within  which 
the  120?.  was  to  be  distributed.  Mr.  Copp  said  that  the 
money  sliould  be  paid  within  a  month.  The  dividend  would 
be  1.?.  6d.  in  tlie  pound.  After  some  discission,  Mr.  Registrar 
Murray  c  .  nfirmed  the  resolutions,  and  granted  the  debtor  his 
discharge. 


McLean  &  Bamber,  Analytical  Chemists,  Stoke-upon- 
Trent. 

The  bankrupts,  who  formerly  carried  on  business  in  partner- 
ship as  above,  under  the  firm  of  "Alexander  McLean  &  Co.," 
were  adjudicated  in  Jul}',  1875,  and  an  application  was  made 
to  the  Court  on  January  17  for  an  order  closing  the  bank- 
ruptcy. The  trustee  reported  that  the  property  liad  been 
realised,  and  a  dividend  of  10.5.  in  the  pound  paid  to  the 
creditors.  There  was  no  objection,  and  Mr.  Registrar 
Hazlitt  made  the  order. 


William  Wilkinson,  Chemist  and  Druggist, 
Chesterfield. 

On  January  31  a  meeting  of  creditors  under  the  bankruptcy 
of  W.  Wilkinson,  chemist  and  druggist,  Gluman  Gate,  Ches- 
terfield, was  held  at  the  County  Court  Offices  in  that  town. 
The  statement  of  affairs  showed  liabilities  819?.  4^.  7d.,  and 
assets  343?.  17.s-.  A  previous  meeting  had  been  held  about  a 
month  previously,  when  an  offer  was  made  by  the  debtor  to 
pay  a  composition  of  4.s'.  in  the  pound  on  the  security  of  him- 
self and  his  mother.  The  offer  was  declined,  and  the  meet- 
ing was  adjourned  to  enable  the  debtor  to  make  one  more 
satisfactory  to  the  creditors,  but  this  he  failed  to  do.  At 
that  adjourned  meeting  it  was  proposed  that  liquidatiou 
should  be  agreed  to,  and  that  Mr.  E.  B.  Brownlow  should  be 
appointed  joint  trustee,  without  remuneration,  along  with 
the  receiver;  but  Mr.  Lander  objected  to  this  arrangement, 


Dr.  Rubini,  of  Naples,  who  so  enthusiastically  recom- 
aended  a  saturated  alcoholic  solution  of  camphor  many 
fears  ago  as  a  specific  in  cases  of  cholera,  is  now  80  years  of 
.ge,  and  is  in  want  of  the  necessaries  of  life.  The  Humwo- 
hUJiiu  Revieiv  has  publislied  an  appeal  for  him  written  by 
fr.  Frederic  Smith,  of  Leeston,  Weston-super-Mare.  Dr. 
tubini,  it  appears,  has  done  all  the  work  in  respect  to  his 
iscovery  gratuitously.

and  the  proceedings  consequently  fell  through,  and  bank- 
ruptcy ensued.  Mr.  Registrar  Wake  presided  at  the  meeting 
on  January  31  under  the  bankruptcy,  and  a  large  number  of 
proofs  were  received,  many  of  which  were  objected  to.  Mr. 
E.  B.  Brownlow  was  eventually  appointed  trustee,  with  a 
committee  of  inspection.  The  public  examination  of  the 
bankrupt  was  fixed  for  March  12.

Fish  Poisoning. — It  is  stated  in  American  journals 
(Macon  Han'lieyc,  Key  West  Key,  &c.)  that  the  fish  of  the 
Gulf  of  Florida  for  150  miles  from  the  coast  have  been 
destroyed  by  the  poisoned  water  of  some  river  which  enters 
the  Gulf.  Strata  of  dark-reddish  water  can  be  traced  which 
kill  all  the  surface  fish  as  well  as  many  which  do  not  come 
in  direct  contact  with  it.  The  shores  of  the  gulf  are  said  to 
be  covered  with  dead  fish  to  such  an  extent  that  a  pestilen- 
tial stench  is  produced.  Large  fish,  such  as  sharks,  jew  fish, 
and  turtle,  are  met  with,  floating  dead,  at  long  distances 
from  the  shore. 

Poisoning  by  Aconite  Liniment. — On  December  28, 
Mr.  Harcourt  McLeod  Buslield,  surgeon,  of  Boothfold,  New- 
church-in-Rossendale,  drank  a  quantity  of  aconite  liniment 
in  mistake  for  sherrj'.  He  had  been  ailing  for  some  weeks, 
and  had  passed  a  very  restless  night.  He  rose  about  half- 
past  four,  and  soon  after  went  into  the  surgery.  He  came 
out  again  and  exclaimed  to  his  wife  :  "  I  am  a  dead  man !  " 
He  took  abundance  of  mustard  and  water  but  rapidly  became 
worse  and  died  within  an  hour.  In  the  surgery  a  bottle  of 
sherrj'  was  found  standing  next  to  the  aconite  liniment,  aud 
it  is  supposed  that  he  had  taken  the  liniment  in  mistake  for 
the  wine. 

A  New  Test  for  Arsenic. — Otis  Johnson  (University 
of  Michigan)  contributes  the  following  to  tlie  ChcmicoA 
News : — Place  the  mixture  containing  arsenious  or  arsenic 
compounds  in  a  Marsh  apparatus  with  a  concentrated  solution 
of  potassic  hydrate  and  a  little  aluminum  wire.  Upon 
warming,  AsH^  will  be  evolved,  which  may  be  subjected  to 
the  usual  tests.  If,  however,  the  gas  blackens  argentic 
nitrate  the  proof  is  quite  conclusive,  since  antimony  by  this 
process  is  not  converted  into  SbHs-    The  equations  are  : — 

3H,A.s03-l-GAl  +  18KHO  =  3AsH,  +  3AV.(OK)„  +  l)II.,0 
3H3isO,  +  8.U  +  24KHO  =  3AsH,  +  4A.l,(OK)„  +  12H,0 

Poisoning  by  Liquid  Ammonia. — The  Medieal  Times  and 
Gazette  records  a  case,  treated  at  the  Great  Northern 
Hospital,  of  a  man  who  had  drunk  half-a-pint  of  liquid 
ammonia.  Castor  oil  and  mustard-and-water  had  been 
administered  before  the  man  came  into  the  hospital,  and 
afterwards  he  was  treated  with  milk  and  acetic  acid,  but  he 
died  after  lingering  for  al)out  30  hours. 


Appleby.— On  December  4,  1878,  Mr.  William  Calvert 
Appleby,  chemist  and  druggist,  Hilderthorpe.    Aged  71. 

Caer. — On  January  !»,  at  Berwick-on-Tweed,  very 
suddenly,  Jean  Robertson,  for  52  years  the  wife  of  William 
Graham  Carr,  pharmaceutical  chemist. 

Davidson.— On  January  15,  1879,  Mr.  John  Davidson, 
chemist  and  druggist,  Bervvick-on-Tweed.    Aged  79. 

The  deceased,  after  his  apprenticeship,  attended  classes 
at  Edinburgli  University.  Afterwards  he  served  for  several 
years  as  doctor  on  board  one  of  the  vessels  belonging  to  the 
South  Sea  Whale  Fishing  Company.  In  1833  he  became 
proprietor  of  a  chemist's  business  at  Bervvick-on-Tweed, 
which  he  continued  until  1875,  when  he  retired  on  account 
of  his  failing  health.  His  upright,  honourable  character 
■won  him  the  respect  of  all  his  associates,  and  gave  him 
much  influence  in  municipal  affairs. 

Fletcher. — On  January  31,  1879  (of  phthisis),  Mr.  Ashby 
Brackstone  Fletcher,  chemist  and  druggist,  Totton,  near 
Southampton.    Aged  30. 

Mr.  Fletcher  was  the  eldest  son  of  Mr.  Isaac  B.  Fletcher 


who  for  many  years  carried  on  a  pharmaceutical  business  at 
the  above  address.  Quite  early  in  life  he  engaged  himself 
as  assistant  to  the  late  Mr.  Thos.  Fardon,  of  Maidstone,  and 
the  energy,  tact,  and  cheery  disposition  of  the  master  were 
soon  reflected  in  the  young  jjupil.  Leaving  Maidstone  he 
entered  the  pharmacy  of  Mr.  AVoolven,  of  Portsmouth,  a 
gentleman  well  known  for  his  scientific  ability  and  mechani- 
cal skill.  Further  experience  was  gained  in  the  establish- 
ment of  Mr.  Lynes,  of  Hertford,  and  subsequently  as  a 
senior  dispenser  with  Mr.  Duncan,  of  Bournemouth,  now  the 
possessor  of  j^robably  the  handsomest  pharmacy  in  the 
United  Kingdom.  Joining  his  father  in  1871,  he  succeeded 
the  latter  on  his  retirement  from  business  in  ^1876,  con- 
tinuing the  management  till  increasing  weakness  incapa- 
citated him  for  all  active  exertions. 

Mr.  Fletcher  obtained  the  '.Minor  qualification  of  the 
Pharmaceutical  Society  in  1869,  preparing  himself  in  the 
various  subjects  by  the  aid  of  only  such  assistance  as  the 
text-book,  the  shop,  and  the  hedge-rows  he  loved  afforded 
him.  Ten  years  ago  his  name  ajDpeared  as  a  frequent  com- 
petitor in  our  Students'  Corner,  and  in  September,  1869,  he 
was  awarded  a  jorize  for  an  essay  on  "  The  Mercurial  Com- 
pounds of  the  British  Pharmacopoeia," 

The  H&mpslnre  Indej)endent,  in  recording  Mr.  Fletcher's 
premature  death,  says  : — "The  subject  of  our  notice  was,  as 
our  readers  will  recollect,  a  young  man  of  sialendid  ijhysique, 
and  to  all  appearance  the  jDossessor  of  one  of  those  iron-like 
constitutions  ^^.which  no  amount  of  exertion  or  endurance 
seems  to  affect  or  impair.  But,  above  and  apart  from  all 
this,  he  was  gifted  with  a  truly  loving  and  noble  disposition. 
Generous,  warm-hearted,  and  wholly  unselfish,  he  had  ever  a 
kind  word  and  a  helping  hand  for  those  in  need  of  assistance 
and  sympathy,  whilst  the  tenderness  of  his  affection,  his 
geniality,  and  bright  good  humour  endeared  him  not  only 
to  his  family  but  to  a  wide  circle  of  acquaintances.  Dis- 
tinguished by  a  profound  hatred  of  cant,  artificiality,  and 
sham  of  [every  kind,  his  life  was  none  the  less  a  true  em- 
bodiment of  that  real  and  practical  Cliristianity  whose 
fruits  are  seen  in  abnegation  of  self,  devotion  to  others, 
and  in  that  charity  which  '  thinketh  no  evil.'  About  two 
j'ears  since  consumption  manifested  itself,  and,  in  spite  of 
unceasing  watchful  tending,  his  strength  gradually  ebbed 
away.  The  funeral  took  place  on  Thursday,  at  Colbury 
Church,  and  the  respect  and  esteem  in  which  the  deceased 
was  held  was  amply  testified  by  the  general  closing  of  the 
windows  of  most  of  the  houses  in  the  village.  The  coffin,  of 
polished  oak  and  brass,  was  borne  upon  a  catafalque,  only 
private  carriages  following.  As  the  remains  were  lowered 
into  the  grave  a  bright  gleam  of  sunshine  radiated  the 
mournful  scene,  emblematic,  as  it  seemed,  of  the  sure  and 
certain  hope  of  a  glorious  immortality,  into  which  the  spirit 
of  the  dear  one  ^who  was  thus  laid  to  rest  had  already 
entered." 

Goosey.— On  December  20,  1878,  Mr.  William  Goosey, 
pharmaceutical  chemist.  Stepney,  London.    Aged  73. 

Mr.  Goosey  died  after  a  painful  illness  (disease  of  the

law,  Mr.  William  Rogers,  who  afterwards  became  his  partner. 
Mr.  Goosey  was  a  great  lover  of  botany  and  entomology, 
most  of  his  leisure  hours  being  devoted  to  roaming  the  forest 
and  country  in  jovrrsuit  of  specimens.  His  friends  deeply 
regret  the  loss  of  the  kind  and  extremely  pleasant  companion 
who  was  wont  to  give  usefid  advice  and  information  in  their

CO-OPERATIVE  TRADING. 

TuK  widely-extended  dispute  of  Stores  Shops,  which 
about  a  month  ago  was  skilfully  opened  by  the  Tclcejrapli, 
and  the  infection  of  which  has  since  been  caught  by  almost 
every  other  printed  sheet  which  Ibis  country  produces,  has 
disclosed  nothing  new,  and,  so  far,  has  resulted,  as  one  of 
the  managing  directors  of  a  leading  store  has  informed  the 
world  in  the  Ninrteeiith,  Century,  in  an  enormous  influx  of 
new  customers  to  the  already  gigantic  businesses  which  the 
co-operative  movement  has  developed.  Nevertheless,  we 
cannot  regret  that  the  discussion  has  arisen.  Exaggerated 
statements  have  been  made  on  both  sides,  but  the  points  at 
issue  have  not  been  confused.  Journalists  have  glanced  at 
the  subject,  and  have  forthwith  uttered  their  oracular 
decisions  with  all  that  confidence  which  distinguishes  their 
utterances  on  no  matter  what  subject.  Generally  they  have 
doomed  the  unfortunate  tradesmen  to  a  few  more  years  of 
struggle  for  existence  prior  to  their  ultimate  annihilation, 
and  they  look  upon  this  con.summation  with  ajiparently  much 
the  same  unconcern  a.^  that  with  which  they  contemplate  the 
destruclion  of  an  Afghan  or  a  Zulu.  But  no  one  of  them 
has  fairly  met  the  orii,inal  and  primary  complaint  of  the 
tradesmen.  The  one  appeal  which  the  trading  classes  have 
united  in  making  is  that  they  shall  not  be  unfairly  matched

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST.

in  competition  with  an  organisation  of  well-paid  Govern- 
ment servants.  That  civil  servants  should  co-operate  to  buy 
their  tea  and  sugar  is  legitimate  enough,  but  that  they 
should  receive  handsome  salaries  from  the  country  for  doing 
one  class  of  work,  and  should  then  sjjend  their  time,  and  not 
their  leisure  time  only,  in  carrying  on  a  big  shop,  is 
just  as  honest  as  if  the  clerks  in  a  bank  should 
receive  their  salaries  from  one  firm  and  sell  their 
energies  to  another.  The  only  reply  vouchsafed  to  this  com- 
plaint is  that  the  grievance  thus  stated  is  purely  sentimental. 
We  are  told  by  the  Times  and  the  other  defenders  of  the 
civil  servants  that  this  matter  is  quite  a  trifle  ;  that  stores 
would  still  be  as  powerful  competitors  if  civil  servants  had 
nothing  at  all  to  do  with  them ;  and  that  the  trumpery 
exemptions  from  the  payment  of  income  tax,  receipt  stamps, 
and  other  contributions  exacted  from  ordinary  traders  are  .so 
fractional  in  their  importance  that  they  cannot  enter  into 
the  calculation  of  the  chances  of  Traders  versus  Stores.  Now 
it  happens  that  the  stores  established  and  conducted  Viy 
Crown  servants  have  been  by  far  the  most  successful ;  liave 
been,  indeed,  almost  the  only  successful  co-operative  stores 
of  any  magnitude  which  have  yet  appeared.  They  are 
well  rooted  now,  it  is  true,  and  we  do  not  suppose  a  change 
of  management  would  greatly  affect  the  trade  done.  But 
traders  have  a  right  to  justice,  whether  the  matter  be  small 
or  great,  and  most  of  them  recognise  that  they  have  no  right 
to  anything  more.  Their  claim  is  an  awkward  one  for  tlic 
[defenders  of  the  civil  servants,  who  invariably  try  to  evade 
t.    This  is  so  much  the  better  reason  why  it  should  be  clung 

0  with  tenacity  between  this  and  the  General  Election. 
From  much  that  has  been  written  lately  it  would  almost 

eem  that  small  shops  were  on  the  verge  of  being  stamped 
ut  altogether.  It  seems  to  be  taken  for  granted  that  the 
tores  have  swamped  all  the  retail  trade  of  London,  and 
ints  are  given  of  their  intention  to  established  missionary 
lentres  in  every  English  village  before  long.  Perhaps  those 
conomists  who  see  so  far  before  them  will  explain  how  it 
,s  that  little  shops  have  managed  to  exist  at  all  hitherto, 
'he  conditions  never  can  be  equal  between  a  great  capitalist 
fWith  an  enormous  business  and  a  small  trader  struggling  to 
Mjnake  both  ends  meet ;  and  yet  in  every  country  in  the  world 
classes  are  competing  together,  are  to  some  extent 
bterchanging  positions,  and  are  both  found  useful  in  the 
abric  of  society.  If  we  cm  only  be  assured  of  fair  compe- 
ition,  that  is,  if  our  competitors  are  forced  to  lose  what 
Tactically  amounts  to  a  Government  subsidj^,  the  stores  will 

0  more  trample  out  the  shops  than  grasping  capitalists  of 
prmer  times  have  been  able  to  secure  all  the  trade  of  a 

wn  where  they  have  established  themselves. 
What  harm  would  the  stores  do  if  they  were  purely  co- 
.rperative  stores  ?  One  of  the  largest  has  about  8,000  hoita- 
de  shareholders,  who,  we  admit,  are  justly  entitled  to  co- 
iperate,  and  in  addition  .50,000  ticket-holders,  which  in 
iffality  means,  not  only  50,000  families,  but  50,000  circles  of 
fcquaintance.  What  palpable  absurdity  to  refer  to  a  system 
jke  this  as  co-operation  ! 

1  That  the  present  scare  will  have  the  effect  of  checking 
ue  credit  system,  and  the  tip  system,  is  sincerely  to  be 
oped.  Until  now  tradesmen,  as  a  rule,  have  never  aj^pre- 
|atcd  with  anything  like  accuracy  the   true   value  of 

:  soney.  At  the  they  have  he  has  reckoned  the  difference 
y  itween  ready  money  and  a  year's  credit  as  being  something 
'  ke  5  per  cent.,  which  does  not  cover  the  net  cost  of  book- 

1  jg,  making  out  bills,  collecting  accounts,  and  so  on.  To  a 
\  'fln  whose  business  will  absorb  his  money,  ready  money 
4';ght  to  be  worth  rather  40  or  50  per  cent,  than  5  or  10 

cent. 

Chemists  and' druggists  are  in  a  rath.er  special  position  in 


respect  to  co-operative  stores.  On  the  one  hand,  they  could 
be  the  most  readily  crushed  of  any  class,  seeing  that  their 
returns  being  comparatively  small,  their  profits  have  to  be 
relativel}'  higher.  A  store  which  deals  in  drugs  only  treats 
this  department  like  other  departments  of  its  business, 
trusting  to  a  general  profit  to  make  the  balance-sheet  come 
right.  On  the  other  hand,  there  is  no  business  where  confi- 
dence between  customer  and  vendor  is  so  necessary  and  so 
usual,  and  it  is  certain  that  if  chemists  will  only  fit 
themselves  thoroughly  for  their  business,  they  need  never 
fear  any  such  mechanical  competition  as  co-operative  stores 
can  bring  to  bear  on  them.  Besides  this,  as  we  all  know, 
there  is  an  action  pending  in  the  Court  of  Queen's  Bench  to 
resolve  the  question  whether  an  association  of  proprietors 
may  infringe  the  Pharmacy  Act  at  their  own  sweet  will.  If 
this  is  decided  in  our  favour,  it  will  be  the  duty  of  the 
Pharmaceutical  Council  to  take  vigorous  measures  to 
vindicate  the  law  on  behalf  of  the  trade.  If  it  should  be 
decided  against  us,  the  duty  of  the  Council  will  be  equally 
evident — namely,  to  amend  the  Pharmacy  Act  so  that  its 
words  shall  say  what  thej^  undoubtedly  mean. 


THE 


CLERGY  CO-OPERATIVE 
STORES. 


It  is  satisfactory — at  least  to  those  who  desire  to  retain  that 
reverence  for  the  English  clergy  which  their  title  suggests, 
and  which  their  office  should  demand — to  find  that  the 
scheme  of  a  big  shop,  with  Canons,  Royal  Chaplains,  and 
other  spiritual  dignitaries  as  directors,  has  not  met  with 
universal  favoirr  in  the  body  itself.  The  first  to  criticise 
the  movement  unfavourably,  as  far  as  we  know,  was  Dr. 
Utterton,  Suffragan  Bishop  of  Guildford.  Pointing  out  that 
the  clergy  have  already  ample  security  against  unfair  trading 
on  the  part  of  tradesmen,  in  the  existing  co-operative  asso- 
ciations, he  urges  his  brethren  to  pause  before  they  join  the 
compan}^,  on  the  ground  that  any  participation  in  its  opera- 
tions must  tend  to  alienate  a  very  considerable  section  of 
their  parishioners  from  the  Church.  On  similar  grounds  the 
Eni/Visli  Cliurchman.  expresses  strong  objection  to  the  pro- 
posed association.  If  it  were  intended  to  be  simjjly  and 
solely  a  benefit  or  friendly  society  for  the  clergy,  says  this 
journal,  the  case  would  be  entirely  different ;  but  the  pro- 
moters of  the  undertaking  would,  we  believe,  be  the  first  to 
disclaim  any  such  idea,  and  therefore  it  becomes,  to  all 
intents  and  purposes,  a  trading  company,  formed  with  the 
object  of  realising  dividends  and  making  profits. 

But  a  still  more  severe  condemnation  of  the  scheme  has 
been  pronounced  by  an  eminent  provincial  clergyman,  and 
for  the  credit  of  the  order  we  will  hope  that  his  letter  is 
or.ly  a  specimen  of  many  others  which  have  not  been  pub- 
lished. The  Eev.  E.  H.  Baynes,  vicar  of  St.  Michael's, 
Coventry,  and  honorary  canon  of  Worcester  Cathedral,  sent 
the  following  to  the  secretary  of  the  association  in  reply  to 
a  request  that  he  would  take  shares  : — "  Sir, — Notwithstand- 
ing the  array  of  great  and  honoured  names  t^at  appear  as 
patrons  of  the  '  Clergy  Co-operative  Association,'  I  look 
iTpon  the  whole  movement  as  a  grave  and  fatal  mistake.  In 
the  most  solemn  moment  of  our  whole  lives,  when  we  were 
admitted  to  the  order  of  priesthood,  the  Bishop  expressed 
'  good  hope  '  that  we  had  '  clearly  determined  by  God's 
grace  to  give  ourselves  wholly  to  this  office  ; '  and  to  me  this 
rushing  of  the  clergy  into  speculative  shares  and  becoming 
themselves  active  memljers  of  the  great  trading  class  is 
something  far  more  than  unseeml}^  And  again,  we,  as 
clergy,  rely  in  the  main  on  this  great  trading  class  for  sub- 
scriptions and  offertories  to  keep  in  efficient  working  order 
all  our  parochial  machinery  ;  and  is  it  likelj^  or  to  be  expected

that  we  should  receive  this  aid  when  our  laity  know  that 
we  have  been  smitten  by  this  modern  co-operative  mania  ?

VIOLET  POWDER. 

This  name  is  as  puzzling  to  foreigners  as  to  English 
analysts.  In  the  Archlr.  clev  Pharnuicie,  published  at 
Halle,  for  December  last,  is  a  short  article  headed 
"  Pulvis  rail.  Iridu  flm-cnt-,^''  purporting  to  be  an  abstract 
from  The  Chemist  and  Druggist  of  August,  1878,  p.  34. 
It  says  : — "  Pulvis  racl.  Trhlis  jiurcnt.  seems  to  be  fre- 
quently adulterated  in  England  ;  at  least,  Dr.  Paissell,  of 
Glasgow,  reports  that  he  has  found  it  mixed  with  nrscnic, 
starch  powder,  plaster  of  Paris,  and  chalk  (Jin  idc)."'  The 
paragraph  alluded  to  states  that  Dr.  Russell  had  examined 
three  samples  of  violet  powder ;  had  found  one  to  consi.st  of 
pure  starch,  that  another  contained  starch  and  plaster  of 
Paris,  and  the  third,  starch,  plaster,  and  French  chalk. 
Arsenic  was  found  in  neither.  This  correction  ought,  per- 
haps, to  be  made,  though  it  is  probable  the  mistake  will 
find  its  way  into  many  other  books.  For  the  sake  of  foreign 
readers  only  wo  may  add  that  "  violet  powder  is  a  purely 
conventional  term  for  what  is  known  in  Germany  as  Pudcr 
or  Toilet  tcn-pudcr. 


PHARMACY    AND  CHARITY. 

There  are  several  of  tlic  religious  orders  in  France  which 
do  a  good  trade  in  medicinal  liqueurs,  but,  besides  that  com- 
petition, the  phnrmaciens  suffer  another,  which  seems  to  vox 
them  more.  This  is  the  illegal  practice  of  pharmacy  by  the 
sisters  of  mercj',  who  to  a  great  extent  win  their  way  among 
their  poor  clients  by  the  gratuitous  administration  of  medi- 
cines. There  can  scarcely  be  room  for  anything  like  com- 
mercial jealousy  of  such  a  system  as  this,  and  we  suppose 
the  objections  of  pharmaciens  are  to  be  ascribed  simply  to  a 
desire  to  carry  out  the  objects  of  the  law,  which  are  that 
medicines  shall  only  be  compounded  by  sufficiently  skilled 
persons.  Recently  two  sisters  asked  for  admission  to  the 
examinations  for  the  grade  of  second-class  pharmaciens, 
petitioning  at  the  same  time  that  as  they  did  not  propose 
to  practise  pharmacy  for  gain  thej'  might  be  allowed  to  dis- 
pense with  the  preliminary  examination,  the  curriculum  of 
study,  and  the  six  months  which  they  must  pass  in  a  phar- 
macy. The  Minister  of  Public  Instruction,  to  whom  tlio 
petition  was  sent,  has  refused  to  grant  the  application. 


BANKRUPTCY  LEGISLATION. 

Fifty  of  the  leading  banking  and  financial  houses  in  tlic 
city  of  London  have  signed  a  memorial  to  the  Go\  eniment 
setting  forth  in  an  earnest  manner  the  urgency  of  the  neces- 
sity for  a  speedy  and  thorough  reform  of  our  existing  bank- 
ruptcy law.  "  The  experience  of  every  j'ear,"  says  this 
memorial,  "  adds  largely  to  the  body  of  disastrous  facts 
which  show  that  the  speedy  amendment  of  the  Act  of  1869 
has  become  one  of  the  most  urgent  necessities  of  the  time, 
both  in  the  interest  of  the  mercantile  class  and  for  the  main- 
tenance of  that  high  tone  of  commercial  morals  and  honour 
for  which  this  country  has  been  distinguished." 

It  is  well  that  such  an  impulse  has  at  last  come  from  a 
qviartcr  which  must  command  attention.  Our  bankrujitcy 
system  as  at  present  worked  is  simply  a  burlesque  of  com- 
merce, law,  and  justice.  This  arises,  not  so  much  from  the 
inherent  defects  of  the  Bankruptcy  Act,  the  tlieory  of  wliich 


was  to  carefully  protect  every  interest,  and  to  give  powers  of 
severely  punishing  fraud,  but  from  the  proved  imprac- 
ticability of  the  elaborate  scheme  provided.  The  memorial 
referred  to  declares  that  "  The  present  bankruptcy  law 
affords  new  and  vicious  facilities  to  insolvent  persons  to 
escape  from  the  reasonable  control  and  supervision  of  their 
creditors  by  private  arrangements  wholly  beyond  the  jm-is- 
diction  of  any  public  court  or  judge.  And  by  reason  of  these 
facilities,  it  is  the  fact  that  every  year  there  is  an  increasing 
number  of  cases  in  which  the  grievous  and  dangerous  scandal 
is  exhibited  of  men  failing  for  vast  liabilities,  and  finding 
it  easy,  in  consequence  of  the  defects  of  the  piresent  law,  to 
get  their  speedy  discharge  by  the  payment  of  no  dividend, 
or  a  dividend  of  some  small  fraction  of  a  pound  or  even 
shilling,  and  without  being  subjected  to  any  efficient  inves- 
tigation of  their  affairs,  or  of  the  conduct  and  proceedings 
which  have  led  to  their  insolvency."' 

The  basis  of  the  present  bankruptcy  law  is  to  leave,  as  far 
as  possible,  the  settlement  of  all  insolvent  estates  to  the 
direct  control  of  the  creditors.  This,  it  might  have  been 
thought,  was  the  correct  principle  ;  but  it  has  been  found 
that  creditors  who  have  already  lost  money  in  an  insolvent 
estate  can  orAy  obtain  a  full  investigation  by  ]iroceedings> 
costly  and  troublesome  to  themselves,  and  very  doubtful  in 
their  results.  The  memorial  alludes  to  this,  and  declares 
that  the  obligation  of  exposing  the  misconduct  of  bankrupts 
should,  in  the  plain  interests  of  public  morality  and  com- 
mercial piolicy,  be  dealt  with  by  a  public  court  and  judge. 
The  appointment  of  a  court  under  the  presidency  of  a  dis- 
tinguished mercantile  lawyer  is  strongly  urged,  that  court 
to  deal  with  all  insolvent  debtors,  and  distribute  their 
assets  as  economically  and  expeditiously  as  possible. 

There  ought  to  be  no  distinction  of  process  in  reference  to 
the  early  stages  of  action  with  regard  to  an  insolvent  person, 
whether  his  affairs  be  small  or  great.  Every  such  per- 
son ought  to  come  before  a  court  interested  only  to  maintain 
the  integrity  of  the  law ;  and  the  law  ought  to  be  in  har- 
mony with  the  principles  of  commercial  justice.  Disabilities 
would  natnrally  fall  to  the  lot  of  everyone  who  failed,  but 
it  should  be  for  the  court  to  pronounce  whether  the  insol- 
vent had  honestly  or  dishonestly  incurred  liabilities  which 
he  was  unable  to  meet.  The  definition  of  fraudulent  trading 
would  need  to  be  considerably  extended,  though  it  would 
have  to  be  so  carefully  expressed  as  not  to  discourage  legiti- 
mate enterprise.  The  immediate  object,  however,  is  to  in- 
fuse into  the  Government  that  spirit  of  earnestness  respecting 
this  important  subject  which  evidently  animates  the 
leaders  of  the  English  commercial  world. 


RECIPROCITY. 

AVE  have  received  a  vigorously- written  plea  for  reciprocity 
by  Mr.  S.  E.  Ashton  (Simpkin,'  Marshall  k.  Co.,  !«.).  The 
author  states  one  side  of  the  case  excellently,  but  he 
carefully  avoids  the  other  side.  It  is  melancholy,  no  doubt, 
to  think  of  our  sugar  refineries  closed  in  consequence  of  the 
bounty  paid  by  the  French  Government  on  exports.  But 
before  we  change  our  commercial  policy  it  is  necessary  to 
regard  this  matter  from  a  national,  and  not  from  a  sugar- 
relining,  point  of  view.  If  France  likes  to  bestow  on  us- 
some  of  her  superabundant  wealth,  no  matter  in  what  form, 
should  we  not  accept  her  offer  ?  So,  if  through  any  circum- 
stances another  nation  can  produce  mousetraps  and  sell 
them  to  us  at  lower  jsrices  than  we  can  make  them,  is  it  not 
superficially  evident  that  we  had  better  buy  those  mouse- 
traps, and  devote  our  energies  to  some  more  profitable 
labour  1  If  it  is  said,  and  Mr.  Ashton  almost  says  this,  thai; 
there  is  no  groove  of  trade  in  Which  we  can  spend  our  forces

to  advantage,  wc  can  only  say  that  then  England's  sun  lias 
set,  and  neither  reciprocity,  nor  protection,  nor  co-operation 
will  galvanise  our  commerce  into  activity  again.  Mr. 
Ashton  repeatedly  insists  that  recipjrocity  is  not  protection, 
but  merely  an  arrangement  of  duties  which  shall  give  our 
producers  a  fair  chance  with  foreigners.  We  do  not  under- 
stand such  delicacies  of  logic.  So  far  as  it  goes  it  is  pro- 
tection pure  and  simple.  Protection  never  was  understood 
to  mean  the  necessary  and  absolute  prohibition  of  all  com- 
petitive imports.  Why  are  he  and  his  party  so  afraid  of  the 
word  protection  ?  Perhaps  the  reason  is  not  very  difficult  to 
find.  Then  he  also  maintains  that  he  does  not  desire  to  see 
a  policy  of  retaliation  introduced.  Mr.  Ashton  is  hard  to 
[please.  He  wants  both  protection  and  retaliation,  but  he 
oes  not  like  the  words.  For  ourselves,  we  have  no  objection 
either,  if  they  would  really  benefit  this  nation  more  than 
hey  would  damage  it.  We  believe,  indeed,  that  some  very 
'good  reasons  may  be  advanced  for  a  retaliatory  policy,  if  it 
pe  clearly  irnderstood  that  such  a  course  is  adopted  for  the 

flirect  pm-pose  of  retaliation,  and  the  force  of  the  arguments 
u  favom-  of  reciprocity  lie  in  this,  that  they  ajjpeal  largely 
,0  our  sense  that  a  fight  is  desirable  sometimes,  even  at  our 
)wn  expense.  Spain,  for  instance,  suggests  itself  as  a  most 
)romising  cor2)us  vile  for  an  experiment.  That  nation  insists 
hat  England  should  admit  her  wines  at  the  same  rate  per 
fallen  as  the  less  alcoholic  products  of  France  and  Germany, 
md,  because  we  will  not  do  this,  she  has,  within  the  past 
ew  years,  so  arranged  her  tariff  as  to  shut  out  almost  com- 
iipletely  British  manufactures.  We  see  no  reason  in  the  world 
jvhy,  to  keep  up  our  name  for  free  trade,  which  in  this  instance 
iloes  not  exist,  we  should  refrain  from  retaliation.  A  double 
lluty  on  Si3anish  wines  for  a  time  would  soon  bring  the 
\eiw7's  to  terms,  and  would  only  have  the  effect  of  benefiting 
ijie  British  public  by  the  greater  consumption  of  lighter 
nd  more  wholesome  beverages.  If  the  reciprocicalists 
^ould  confine  themselves  to  such  cases  as  this  they  would 
'^ve  a  much  better  chance  of  success  than  they  have  in 
.eir  advocacy  of  such  a  universal  tariff  as  would  have  to  be 
ijnposed  to  satisfy  all  of  them. 


■HE   NEXT   ELECTION   OF  PHA.RMA- 
CEUTICAL  COUNCIL. 

HE  signs  of  the  next  contest  for  the  Pharmaceutical 
fjuncil  are  at  hand,  the  first  being  the  ballot  which  indicates 
fcich  of  the  present  members  shall  retire.    Out  of  the  21 
fembers  who  compose  the  Council  1-1  retire  annually,  seven 
,ving  served  two  years  since  their  election,  and  the  other 
en  by  lot.    By  this  system  the  members  have  no  one  but 
mselves  to  complain  of  if  they  are  misrepresented  for  more 
,n  a  year.    If,  therefore,  the  violent  energy  which  charac- 
ised  the  recent  special  meeting  was  anything  more  than 
re  sound  and  fury  signifying  nothing,  it  ought  to  manifest 
]elf  by  a  decided  change  in  the  constitution  of  the  Council 
t  May.    It  happens,  curiously  enough,  that  the  three 
|incillors  who  most  warmly  su23ported  the  apothecaries  at 
late  meeting,  and  who  were  especially  marked  for 
fodication  on  that   occasion,   namely,  Messrs.  Gostling, 
itedford,  and  Scliaclit,  are  protected  from  the  judgment  of 
.itsir  constituents  by  the  accident  of  the  ballot.    They  are 
■s-ong  the  seven  who  will  retain  office  for  another  year.  It 
i orobable  that  the  seat  of  one  of  the  other  members  of  this 
imp  will  be  rendered  vacant  before  the  election. 
»  We  do  not  anticipate  any  election  results  differing  much 
"iim  those  which  have  preceded.    There  is  a  mass  of  quiet 
I'yism  in  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  which  will  far  more 
la  outweigh  the  influence  of  the  more  energetic  spirits 
b  revealed  "  a  bit  of  tlieir  mind  "  in  January.     But  the 


latter  have  no  reason  to  be  discouraged.  Their  action  in 
promoting  and  conducting  that  meeting  has  not  been  with- 
out its  effect  even  now  :  at  least,  we  imagine  we  can  trace 
some  of  that  effect  in  the  fact  that  some  proposals  for  the 
amendment  of  the  Pharmacy  Act  were  adopted  at  the  last 
Council  meeting  "  unanimously." 


ANALYSM. 

Several  cases  of  this  complaint  demand  notice  this  month. 
In  the  case  of  a  Chester  grocer,  summoned  for  adulterating 
coffee.  Dr.  Carter  Bell  is  said  to  have  reported  :— "  Sample 
adulterated  with  20  per  cent,  of  vegetable  matter,  which  I 
believe  to  be  chicory."  The  chairman  of  the  magistrates 
dismissed  the  case,  remarking  that  "  it  was  nonsense  for  Dr. 
Bell  to  say  that  he  could  not  tell  whether  tlie  added  matter 
was  chicory  or  not." 

In  a  case  of  a  publican  larosecuted  at  the  Bridgewater 
County  Petty  Sessions,  on  January  3],  for  selling  adulterated 
whisky,  the  county  analyst's  certificate  stated  that  the 
sample  was  entirely  composed  of  plain  new  grain  spiirit 
lowered  by  the  addition  of  about  30  per  cent,  of  water  and 
coloured  with  burnt  sugar.  The  case  was  contested,  and  the 
sample  was  sent  to  Somerset  House.  The  certificate 
received  at  the  adjourned  hearing  stated  that  the  spirit  was 
from  a  mixture  of  malt  and  raw  grains,  from  which  whisky 
was  generally  prepared,  and  that  it  was  free  from  impurities. 
The  case  was  dismissed. 

Mr.  Angell,  of  Southampton,  who  holds  the  appointment 
of  analj'st  for  Guildford,  has  tried  to  stir  up  the  milk  of 
sulphvu:  question  again.  We  make  no  reference  to  the  cases 
in  which  sublimed  sulphur  was  sold  for  our  old  friend  the 
"milk,"  but  why  .should  Mr.  Angell  have  certificated  a 
sample  containing  7'8  pier  cent,  as  being  an  adulterated 
sample  ?  We  will  not  insult  Mr.  Angell  by  supposing  that 
he  had  not  studied  previous  reports  of  similar  trials.  That 
was  his  simple  duty  to  do,  and  of  course  he  did  it.  But 
then,  as  the  Analyst  always  tells  us,  it  is  no  business  of  the 
chemist  to  do  more  than  merely  report  on  the  samples  sub- 
mitted to  him.  He  does  not  concern  himself  with  the  in- 
terpretation of  his  results.  Perhaps  Mr.  Anali/st  will  be 
good  enough  to  read  the  report  of  the  Guildford  case.  Mr. 
Angell  said  "  he  regarded  himself  as  a  representative  of  the 
interests  of  the  Food  and  Drugs  Act  in  that  borough.  He 
s)iijyvstcd  that  the  grocers  as  well  as  the  chemists  of  the 
town  should  be  called  upon  and  asked  for  milk  of  sulphur." 
We  have  little  doubt  that  it  was  lime  .that  Mr.  Angell 
expected  to  find,  and  we  venture  to  ask  whether  it  is  fair  to 
the  ratepayers  as  well  as  to  tradesmen  that  an  analyst  should 
have  the  power  to  be  eternally  reopening  questions  after 
superior  authorities  have  decided  them. 


THE    MINIATURE    EDITION    OF  THE 
"CHEMIST    AND  DRUGGIST." 

We  enclose  with  this  cojiy  of  our  journal  a  reproduction  of 
our  last  number  in  miniature.  This  edition  contains  every 
page,  and  indeed  every  letter,  which  appeared  in  our 
January  issue.  The  reproduction  has  been  made  by  photo- 
graphic and  lithographic  pirocesses,  and  is,  no  doubt,  the 
largest  experiment  of  the  kind  that  has  ever  been  made. 
We  shall  send  copies  to  our  foreign  subscribers  by  special 
mail,  as  we  are  not  allowed  to  enclose  it  with  the  current 
copy.  We  also  propose  to  distribute  some  thousands  of 
copies  to  chemists  and  druggists  who  are  not  at  present 
subscribers,  and  we  hope  the  result  will  be  a  considerable 
accession  of  new  friends,  and  an  increase  of  business  from  our 
advertising  sujjportcrs.

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 


I 

[February  15, 187!>. 


l£itcvani  Dotes. 


Watta'  Bictioiiaiij  of  Chcmixtrij. 

The  first  part  of  a  third  supplement,  making  the  eighth 
volume  of  Watts'  "  Dictionary  of  Chemistry,"  has  been 
pvrblishcd  during-  the  past  month  by  Messrs.  Longmans  &  Co. 
A  second  volume  is  announced  to  complete  this  supplement. 
Part  1,  now  before  us,  reaches  to  "  Fustic,"'  and  contains 
838  pages.  The  whole  supplement  claims  to  present  a  record 
of  the  chemical  work  accomplislied  since  the  previous  supple- 
ment was  completed,  about  1873.  The  period  tlius  covered 
has  evidently  not  been  less  distinguislied  for  activity  among 
chemists  tlian  any  former  iive  years.  Last  year,  too,  was 
distinguished  by  the  ver^'  important  victory  over  the  hitherto 
unconquered  gases,  accomplished  by  Messrs.  Pictct  and 
Cailletet.  This  will  probably  form  a  chapter  in  the  second 
part  of  tlie  supplement,  which  will  also  contain  (as  we 
judge  from  a  note  on  page  729)  a  record  of  Lockyer's  recent 
experiments  on  the  spectra  of  elementary  bodies — a  work 
tlie  value  of  which  cannot  yet  be  appreciated.  Conlining 
ourselves,  however,  to  the  matters  treated  in  the  volume 
now  before  us,  it  must  be  admitted  that  these  prove  that 
modern  chemistry  is  still  mounting  with  undiminished 
vigour  at  least  into  the  clouds,  if  not  into  the  empyrean. 
We  presume  that  fully  one-half  of  the  work  recorded 
here  is  of  German  origin.  A  large  proportion  of  it  is  of 
such  a  character  as  to  be  outside  the  range  even  of  expe- 
rienced chemists,  except  those  who  happen  to  be  working 
in  the  j^articular  corner  treated.  We  open  the  volume 
quite  at  random,  and  come  on  page  397  to  a  notice  of 
di-parachlorophenyl-thiocarbamide.  Immediately  above  we 
are  referred  to  an  article  on  the  reaction  of  diphenyl-thio- 
carbamide  with  carbodiphenylamide.  Just  beyond  we  find 
the  process  for  preparing  ethylidene-plienyl-oxethyl-thio- 
carbamide-ammonia —

Such  instances  might  be  multiplied  hundreds  of  times  from 
this  volume.  We  do  not  mention  tliem  to  criticise  them,  far 
less  to  ridicule  them,  but  to  show  the  direction  which 
modern  chemistry  is  taking.  They  suggest  also  the  immense 
importance  of  a  work  like  Watts'  "  Dictionary,"  in  which 
the  elaborate  labours  of  English,  German,  French,  Russian, 
and  Italian  chemists  are  classified  and  summarised.  The 
volume,  however,  contains  much  other  matter  than  such  as 
may  be  classed  as  the  higliest  chemistry.  We  have,  for 
instance,  abstracts  of  all  the  investigations  which  have  been 
published  by  public  analysts  respecting  such  subjects  as 
beer,  butter,  and  the  like.  Benzene  compounds,  and  the 
general  decomi^osition  products  of  aniline,  take  up  by  far 
the  largest  space  of  any  section  ;  cinchona  and  its  alkaloids 
also  make  a  respectable  show.  An  excellent  specimen  of 
editorial  skill  is  evinced  in  the  article  on  "  Fermentation,'" 
which,  wit  h  its  subsidiary  sections,  occupies  about  10  pages. 
The  discordant  views  on  this  subject  are  indicated,  and  the 
mass  of  experiments  by  many  investigators  reduced  to  order 
and  conciseness.  The  contributions  to  this  volume  are  :  a 
valuable  one  on  "  Forest  Trees, "'  by  Mr.  R.  Warington,  in 
which  the  chemistry  of  the  trunk  and  branches,  the  sap,  the 
leaf,  the  blossom,  fruit  and  seed,  and  the  forest  litter,  arc 
separately  treated.  The  annual  requirements  of  a  forest  in 
the  way  of  food  may  be  estimated  from  some  Bavarian 
observations,  which  show,  in  wood  and  leaf  litter,  that  the 
total  annual  produce  of  dry  matter  averages  .5,755  lbs.  per 
acre.  There  is  another  article  on  "  Barley,"  also  b}''  Mr. 
Warington ;  a  contribution  on  "  Flame,"  by  Dr.  Thorpe  ; 
and  one  on  '-Cumulative  Resolution,"  by  Dr.  Mills.  This 
term  has  been  given  by  the  author  to  a  phenomenon  first 
observed  by  Wurtz,  and  latterly  to  a  more  frequent  degree  by 
himself,  consisting  of  the  combination  of  a  substance  or  mix- 
ture of  substances  with  itself,  a  certain  number  of  times,  a 


particular  portion  of  it  being  lost  each  time  according  to  some 
fixed  law.  Thus,  says  the  writer,  "  bismuthic  nitrate,  when 
decomposed  by  a  gradually  increasing  quantity  of  water,, 
}-ields  a  series  of  bodies  which  are  less  and  less  nitrogenous 
and  more  and  more  bismuthic,"'  the  final  result  being  the 
entire  removal  of  the  acid  element. 

Animal  Chcmhtrij.     By  C.  T.  Kingzett,  F.C.S.    London  : 
Longmans,  Green  &  Co. 

The  division  of  labour-  which  the  extension  of  the  fields  of 
chemical  research  has  forced  upon  most  of  those  who  have 
adopted  the  science  as  a  profession  is  not  exactl}'  suited  to 
the  genius  of  Mr.  C.  T.  Kingzett.    Lately  that  gentleman 
favoured  the  world  with  a  treatise  on  the  alkali  trade ; 
before  that  he  dived  deeply  into  the  chemistry  of  essential 
oils,  terpene,  and  such  like  ;  now  he  comes  forward  as  the 
apostle  of  physiological  chemistry'.    The  term  is  suggested 
by  the  aggressive  style  which  the  author  has  chosen  to  adopt. 
In  a  general  way  previous  treatises  on  the  same  subject  are 
referred  to  in  a  tone  of  contempt.    On  page  15  we  are  told, 
"  as   for  most  of  the  text-books  in  use,  not  only  in  this- 
country,  but  abroad  also,  they  are  the  merest  compilation  of 
facts — facts  picked  up  here  and  there,  and  arranged  together 
in  chapters."    There  is  much  else  to  the  same  effect.  The 
preface  and  the  general  introduction  to  this  book  lead  one 
to  expect  that  a  grand  revelation  of  the  mystery  of  life  is  to 
be  unfolded  in  the  pages  which  follow.    "  There  are  those 
who  hold  the  opinion  that  in  life  there  is  something  which, 
renders  negative  all  our  conclusions  drawn  from  laboratory 
experiments,  and  nullifies  all  our  hj^potheses  of  functions; 
but  they  are  men  who  fail  to  grasp  thoroughly  the  conditions 
upon  which  life  depends "    (page  10).    Poor  fools !  how 
gladly  would  tliey  be  enlightened  !    Is  it  true,  then,  that 
some  laboratorjr  experiments  liave  disclosed  to  Mr.  Kingzett 
the  conditions  on  wliich  life  depends?     And  if  so,  why 
cannot  the  rest  of  us  grasp  them  thoroughly  ?    Well,  "  the 
dogmatism  of  churches  and  ages  "  seems  to  be  partially 
responsible,  but  mainl_y  it  seems  to  be  that  our  "  minds  are 
still  tainted  with  that  bias  against  improvement  so  common 
to  the  savage  "  (page  11).    A  little  later  we  come  on  almost 
the   only   modest  passage  in  the   book,    but  it  is  im- 
possible for  Mr.  Kingzett  to  maintain  the  tone  through- 
out even   one  sentence.    He  is  good  enough  to  admit 
"  that  we  stand  but  on    the  threshold  of  knowledge,  and 
many  must  be  the  thinkers  and  workers,  and  generations 
upon  generations  will  pass  away,  before  the  processes  of  life 
shall  stand  forth  entirely  revealed  ;  before  it  shall  be  known 
how,  from  a  few  simple  matters,  tolerably  well  known  them- 
selves and  administered  as  food,  is  built  np  Man,  with  hi& 
marvellous  and  beautiful    structure,  with  his  power  of 
thought,  feeling,  and  action.    That  such  a  time  will  come 
scientific  men  have  no  doubt '"  (page  23).    Mr.  Kingzett  is. 
far  too  intelligent  a  writer  to  make  us  suppose  that  he 
would  maintain  all  he  1ms  written.    We  do  not  imagine 
that  even  he  would  declare  in  his  calmer  moments  that  he 
knew  all  about  a  substance  or  a  process  simplj''  because  he 
has  given  a  name  to  it.    It  is  mainly  by  a  large  infusion  of 
this  tall  talk  that  Mr.  Kingzett "s  manual  differs  from  its 
predecessors  in  tlie  same  line.    This  is  what  we  presume  he 
means  by   the  "  connecting  principles "  and   "  scientific 
philosophy,"  in  which,  lie  says,  other  manuals  are  so  deficient. 
The  bulk  of  the  work  is  necessarily  "  a  compilation  of 
facts — facts  picked  up  here  and  there,  and  arranged  into 
cliapters.'"    The  vast  majority  of  the  facts  are,  of  course,  the 
same  as  would  be  found  in  any  of  the  despised  text-books. 
These  are  occasionally  commented  on  with  great  acuteness, 
and  all  of  the  chapters,  it  must  be  admitted,  indicate 
the  author "s  thorough  familiarity  with  the  subject  he  treats. 
There  is  evidently,  however,  a  serious  defect  in  his  arrange- 
ment of  his  material,  for  the  reader  is  continually  being 
perplexed  with  allusions  to  subjects  that  come  in  an  after 
part  of  the  book.  On  pages  127-28,  for  instance,  we  find  five 
allusions  to  suljsequent  studies,  only  one  of  which  gives  the 
reference.    Ap.art  from  this  difficulty  the  style  is  not  of  the 
easiest.  The  author  assumes  a  very  liberal  chemical  education 
among  those  who  shall  read  his  laook,  and  yet  he  introduces 
the  work  with  many  lamentations  over  the  unhappy  condition 
of  medical  students  in  respect  to  physiological  chemistry 
previous  to  its  publication. 

In  the  course  of  tlie  work  Mr.  Kingzett  makes  frequent 
reference  to  his  own  researches.    One  of  the  most  interest-

ing  of  these  professes  to  exislain  the  way  in  which  alcohol 
occasions  delirium  tremens  (p.  316).  Evidently  the  theory 
was  prepared  beforehand,  but  it  is  supported  by  a  few 
experiments  2^i'o  forma.  Briefly  the  method  was  this  :  Ox- 
brains  freshly  removed  from  the  skull  were  suspended  in 
watery  solutions  of  alcohol,  of  strength  varying  from  6  to 
50  per  cent.  It  was  found  that  up  to  a  certain  point  the 
alcohol  had  no  more  efEect  on  the  brain  than  water  alone, 
that  both  water  and  alcohol  dissolved  certain  portions  of 
brain  matter,  but  that  alcohol  in  large  proportion  dissolved 
some  that  water  would  not  affect.  The  serum,  rich  as  it  is 
in  salts,  prohibits  the  action  of  water  as  such  in  life,  and 
therefore,  we  presume,  it  is  to  be  concluded  that  alcohol 
above  a  certain  quantity  has  the  direct  effect  of  dissolving 
portions  of  the  brain  and  lowering  its  specific  gravity.  We 
do  not  think  that  any  one  considering  the  stages  of 
alcoholic  disease  will  find  this  explanation  of  much 
assistance.  Nevertheless,  the  experiments  are  suggestive, 
and  the  subject  is  certainly  worthy  of  the  most  careful 
research. 

The  chapter  on  "Fermentation,  Putrefaction,  and  the 
Germ  Theory  of  Disease  "  (p.  424)  is  an  excellent  specimen 
of  the  author's  ability.  The  conflicting  views  on  these  sub- 
I  jects  are  concisely  and  lucidly  dealt  with,  and  nobody  is 
i  treated  with  contempt.  To  the  astonishment  of  the 
,,  reader,  however,  the  section  concludes  with  an  extra- 
ji  ordinary  puff  of  "  Sanitas,"  which  is  treated  as  if  it  were  the 
i  only  antiseptic  or  disinfectant  worthy  of  further  existence. 
I  "  Of  other  antiseptics  or  disinfectants  it  is  unnecessary  to 
I  write  at  any  length,''  says  this  candid  author,  and  the  little 
'  he  has  to  say  of  them  is  chiefly  to  tlieir  disadvantage, 
ij  A  chapter  on  "  Character,''  in  which  the  author  poses  as  a 
!  materialist,  and  in  which  tall  talk  again  comes  into  requisi- 
i  tion,  and  a  thoughtfully-prepared  series  of  subjects  sug- 
ijgested  for  research,  conclude  this  very  unequal  volume.

\,       &c.    London  :  Griffin  &  Co. 

1: The  title  " Practical  Chemistry"  aj^pears  to  be  somewhat 
i  misapplied  in  this  he  book  treats  only  of  a  branch 

of  the  subject.  There  are  several  works  on  practical 
r  chemistry  in  the  English  language,  and  so  far  as  we  can 

recollect  none  of  them  cover  the  same  ground  as  this  book, 
^  indeed,  so  the  author  states  in  his  preface,  and  at  the  same 

time  observes  that  only  in  continental  literature  does  a 

counterpart  of  the  work  exist,  instancing  Sonnenschein's 

"Handbuch  der  Gerichtlichen  Chemie  "  as  one  of  this  class. 

This  branch  of  practical  chemistry  would  be  more  correctly 

defined  as  Chemical  Jurisprudence. 

The  cliapter  on  milk  contains  a  great  deal  of  valuable 
•i  matter  which  is  not  to  be  found  in  any  other  single  work, 
;  and  its  value  is  greatly  increased  by  the  extensive  references. 
•,  In  referring  to  the  detection  of  borax  there  is  a  drawing  of 
« the  spectrum  of  boracic  acid  given,  showing  the  position  of 
!t  :he  characteristic  bands.  To  make  this  figure  of  any  value 
t  here  ought  to  be  some  reference  to  the  scale  employed,  as 
,  t  is,  nobody  could  possibly  identify  (he  si^ectrum.  The 

iame  remark  applies  to  fig.  14  in  the  chapter  on  the  detec- 
- 1  don  of  phosphorus.  The  spectrum  of  aphosphuretted  hydrogen 

I  lame  shown  in  the  latter  case  is  intended  to  represent  one  of 

3oisbaudran's  beautiful  drawings,  and  without  some  account 
J 'if  the  manner  in  which  his  measurements  may  be  reduced 
)  0  those  obtainable  with  other  instruments  it  would  be  im- 
i  possible  to  make  any  practical  use  of  the  figure.  The  scale, 
I  lowever,  is  of  little  importance,  for  nothing  could  be  more 
1  mlike  the  real  spectra  than  these  woodcuts,  and  to  make 
•  .aatters  worse  the  author  refers  to  the  delicately-shaded 

iiands  of  the  phosphuretted  liydrogen  as  lines,  a  term  that 

.s  utterly  inapplicable  to  the  real  spectrum,  but  peculiarly 
ppropriate  to  the  woodcut.    The  sooner  attempts  at  repre- 
enting  such  spectra  by  means  of  woodcuts  are  abandoned 
ihe  better  for  a  branch  of  art  that  is  capable  of  great  things 
iVithin  its  own  proper  sphere. 
>   An  excellent  feat  ure  of  this  book,  that  ought  to  be  more  exten- 
;  /ively  adopted  in  our  English  scientific  literature,  is  the  biblio- 
\  'Xaphy  that  is  given  at  the  end  of  most  of  the  special  articles, 
.'hese  lists  of  the  various  papers  tliat  have  been  published  on

i reatcst  value  to  the  professional  as  well  as  to  the  scientific 


course  be  impossible  to  give  anything  like  a  complete 
bibliography  of  each  subject,  but  the  value  of  even  a  short 
list  of  works  would  be  greatly  enhanced  by  a  brief  state- 
ment of  the  substance  of  the  various  publications  referred 
to,  when  the  titles  alone  are  not  sufficiently  explanatory. 

Pharmaceutical  chemists  will  find  this  work  of  great  value. 
It  contains  a  vast  amount  of  rare  and  valuable  information. 

Tlte  Year-T}ooh  of  Pharmacy, 

The  ninth  volume  of  this  handy  compendium  of  pharmacy 
reached  the  members  of  the  Conference  early  in  the  new 
year.  It  is  a  model  "year-book,"  and  the  index  to  the 
whole  series,  which  will  doubtless  accompany,  or  quickly 
follow  the  volume  to  come,  will  give  those  who  possess  the 
series  a  capital  encyclopasdia  of  the  progress  of  ijliannacy. 
The  present  volume  is  about  20  pages  smaller  than  its 
immediate  predecessor,  but  the  "  Year-book  "  proper  contains 
50  pages  more,  so  that  the  curtailment  has  been  effected  in 
the  account  of  "  the  Transactions  of  the  British  Pharmaceu- 
tical Conference,"  which  was  certainly  more  open  to  the 
charge  of  verbosity  than  the  reports  on  pharmacy. 

Nothing  of  importance  seems  to  have  escaped  the  notice 
of  the  editor,  and  the  20  pages  of  introduction  are  as 
masterlj'  as  usual.  To  give  an  abstract  of  it  is  impossible, 
but  we  do  not  think  the  author  should  grumble,  even  to 
himself,  at  the  limits  he  is  confined  to.  Anyone  could  write 
an  extended  summary  of  the  progress  made  by  jAarmacy  in 
12  months":  few  are  able  to  give  a  bird's-eye  view  of  the 
matter  in  20  pages  of  faijr-sized  print. 

It  is  certainly  to  be  hoped  that  with  the  next  volume,  or 
at  no  very  distant  period,  a  general  index  to  all  the  Year- 
books will  be  issued  to  the  members,  or  at  least  prepared 
for  all  who  like  to  purchase  it.  And  it  is  even  more  earnestly 
to  be  wished  that  care  will  be  taken  to  index  the  subjects 
rather  than  the  titles  of  the  papers.  A  single  instance  will 
show  the  need  of  this.  The  index  to  the  present  volume 
refers  us  to  two  papers  on  nicotine,  but  an  interesting  and 
somewhat  imjDortant  fact  in  the  history  of  this  alkaloid  is 
mentioned  in  a  "  Note  on  the  Active  Principle  of  Canabis 
(«u;)  Indica,"  to  which  no  reference  is  made  under 
"Nicotine."  The  fact  that  the  misprint  "Canabis"  re- 
appears in  the  index  is  a  sufficient  j^roof  that  the  latter  is 
not  the  work  of  Mr.  Siebold.  Should  a  general  index  be 
decided  on,  we  would  commend  to  the  compilers'  notice  the 
interesting  little  book  just  published  by  Sotheran  &  Co.  on 
"  What  is  an  Index  ?  "  price  \s.  Two  things  are  gxcatly  to 
be  desired  in  modern  works — conciseness  and  a  good  index. 
The  Year-books  are  patterns  of  the  first,  the  second  can  be 
added  to  them. 


The  Journal  (f  Science,  edited  by  Mr.  Crookes,  F.E.S., 
which  has  appeared  at  quarterly  for  intervals  the  past  fifteen 
years,  is  now  published  monthlj^. 


It  is  said  that  the  article  on  "  Methods  of  Sick  rielief  "  in 
the  .January  number  of  Macmillan's  Magaziyto,  on  which  we 
had  occasion  to  remark,  was  written  by  W.  McCulloch 
Torrens,  Esq.,  M.P. 


An  interesting  work  has  just  been  issued  in  Eussia  by 
Professor  Rumishevich  at  Kieff.  It  is  a  complete  catalogue 
of  all  the  medicinal  and  veterinary  literature  published  in 
Russia  during  1876. — Nature. 


AVE  have  leceived  from  Mr.  Thomas  Christy,  F'.L.S.,  two 
pamphlets,  entitled  "  New  Commercial  Plants,  with  Direc- 
tions for  their  Growth  and  Utilisation."  No.  1  deals  with 
Coffca  Liherioa,  or  the  new  Liberian  giant  coffee  ;  Landolj)h%a 
Florida,  or  the  African  rubber  tree  ;  Turkish  tobacco,  and 
Caucasian  prickly  comfrey.  No.  2  contains  notices  of  the 
chaulmugra  tree,  Vogel's  African  rubber  tree  ( Urostiyma 
Voyclii),  the  mahwah  tree,  and  cocoa.  There  is  a  list  at  the 
end  of  new  remedies  and  drugs.  Most  of  the  articles  are 
illustrated  with  full-page  lithographs.  Mr.  Christy  is  now 
well  known  as  the  energetic  practical,  if  not  strictly  original, 
introducer  of  new  plants,  ai  d  the  pamphlets  he  sends  out 
contain  a  large  amount  of  useful  information.  They  are 
too  business-like  and  practical  not  to  call  attention  to  the 
author's  personal  merits.

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 


[February  15,  187fl. 


Temperance  Liteeature. — It  is  said  that  Dr.  Kichard- 
son  has  been  invited  by  tlie  advocates  of  total  abstinence  to

Tx  Germany,  during  the  year  just  passed,  the  total  niam- 
ber  of  new  books  and  new  editions  published  was  13,912. 
The  class  of  chemistry  and  pharmacy  is  fifth  in  order  of 
numbers,  works  on  these  subjects  being  issued  during 
the  year.  Medicine  and  veterinarj-  sm^gery  follows  very 
closely  with  789  new  publications. 


We  Iiave  received  a  useful  and  interesting  pamphlet, 
entitlcil  "  Personal  Protection  against  Yellow  Fever,"  from 
Dr.  Jolin  x\.  Wegg,  of  Kingston,  Jamaica.  The  author  writes 
especially  for  the  benefit  of  persons  proposing  to  visit  or 
take  up  their  abode  within  the  yellow-fever  zone,  and  to 
such  he  oiTers  a  series  of  recommendations,  based  upon  the 
experience  gained  by  tlie  many  tliousands  who  have  already 
"  acclimated  "  themselves. 


On  March  1  the  first  number  is  to  appear  of  a  new 
journal,  entitled  St.  Lulir :  A  Clerical,  Medical,  and  Lcf/al 
Review.  The  object  of  the  editors  is  "  to  endeavour  to  bring 
prominently  before  the  general  public  matter  which  has 
hitherto  been  hidden  in  the  obscurity  of  purely  class 
journals."'  If  this  publication  should  become  an  authority 
we  shall  get  confused  when  the  newspapers  tell  us  that 
iS^.  Li(l!C  has  declared  in  favour  of  counter  practice  or 
against,  or  has  summarily  settled  some  other  like  dispute. 


A  Book  called  "  Medical  Men  and  Manners  of  the  Nine- 
teenth Century  (Baillif're,  Tindal  &  Cox)  has  been  sent  to 
us,  probably  because  it  contains  some  silly  abuse  of  chemists 
and  druggists.  The  book  is  a  wonderful  mass  of  would-be 
funny  criticisms  on  the  various  classes  of  medical  prac- 
titioners, by  an  anonymous  author  who  evidently  failed  to 
complete  his  apprenticeship  to  Lindley  Murraj^  but  who  is 
quite  prepared  to  undertake  the  enlightenment  and  reform 
of  all  the  professions  in  the  land.  We  are  told  that  this  is  a 
second  edition,  "revised  and  very  much  enlarged."  What- 
ever the  revision  may  have  done  for  it,  the  enlargement  lias 
certainly  not  proved  an  advantage. 


The  "  Patentee's  Manual  "  (London  :  Longmans)  is  a  com- 
plete treatise  on  the  law  and  practice  of  patents,  and 
describes  all  the  steps  of  the  j^rocess  necessary  in  taking  out 
letters  patent,  opposing  them,  licensing  otliers  to  use  them, 
proceeding  against  violations  of  them,  and  extending  patent 
rights  to  other  countries.  The  manual  has  reached  a  fom'th 
edition,  and  is  written  by  James  Johnson,  barrister,  and 
J.  H.  Johnson,  solicitor  and  patent  agent,  both  aut  hors  having 
a  special  experience  in  patent  law,  which  qualifies  them  for 
the  work.  The  special  value  of  the  manual  is  that  the  com- 
ments or  explanations  given  on  all  points  connected  with 
patent  law  are  illustrated  by  the  citation  of  cases  and  judg- 
ments. Several  hundreds  of  cases  are  quoted  or  referred  to 
in  the  course  of  the  book.  The  laws  regulating  patents  in 
foreign  countries  are  given  in  an  appendix,  which  has  been 
considerably  enlarged  in  this  edition. 


Lately  householders  in  the  wealthier  parts  of  London  were 
favoured  with  a  small  volume,  bound  in  green  and  gold,  and 
entitled  "  Home  Comforts."  It  contained  a  multitude  of 
short  articles  on  matters  connected  with  everyday  life,  and 
on  most  pages  an  allusion  to  or  recommendation  of  Nelson's 
patent  gelatine  or  snme  other  of  that  firm's  specialties  was 
introduced.  It  was,  in  fact,  a  simple  advertisement  skilfullj^ 
prepared  and  likely  to  produce  respectable  results.  The 
]iroprietors  (Messrs.  Nelson,  Dale  &  Co.),  as  will  be  seen 
from  an  advertisement  which  they  publish,  ask  cliemists  to 
assist  them  in  the  judicious  distribution  of  this  useful  little 
volume.  The  opportunity  is  an  excellent  one  for  any 
chcmist-witli  a  family  connection,  as  any  lady  at  the  head 
of  a  household  will  be  pleased  to  be  presented  with  such  a 
serviceable  and  interesting  little  manual. 


A  Pamphlet,  entitled  "  Abbreviated  Notes  on  the  Phy- 
siological  and  Therapeutic  Action  of  Gelseminum  somper- 
virens,  and  Jaborandi,"  by  Thomas  Htretch  Dowse,  M.D., 
2jIus  seven  lines  of  titles  and  three  etceteras,  comes  to  ixs  "  with 
the  author's  compliments."  The  most  notable  passages  seem 
to  be  the  title,  the  list  of  "  Contributions  to  Medical  Litera- 
ture," hj  the  same  author,  which  fills  the  second  and  third 
pages  of  the  cover,  and  the  address  of  the  wTiter  on  the  last 
page.  No  indication  of  the  author's  aims  is  given,  but  the 
final  sentence  seems  to  indicate  that  the  pamiDhlet  is  a 
reprint  of  a  lectirre.  It  criticises  some  of  the  results  of  Drs. 
Sanderson  and  Piingcr,  in  many  cases  controverting  their 
opinions.  On  page  8  the  author  saj's,  "  I  think  we  may  fairly 
say  that  gelseminum,  as  a  therapeutic  agent,  exercises  little 
or  no  power  over  either  the  circulation  or  respiration,  whilst 
as  a  nerve  sedative  it  seems  to  be  of  some  value."  On 
page  16  we  are  told,  "I  thought  atone  time  we  had  a 
valuable  agent  in  jaborandi  to  reduce  the  body  temperature 
in  phthisis,  but  further  experience  has  taught  me  that  it 
was  fallacious."  AVe  will  only  notice  further  that  Gchemium, 
and  not  Gelseminum,  is  now  fully  recognised  as  the  only 
correct  orthography  of  the  word. 


The  Oldest  Pharmaceutical  Periodical. — In  1825 
was  commenced  the  publication  of  the  Journal  of  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy,  which  is,  therefore,  the  oldest 
pharmaceutical  periodical  in  the  English  language.  In  1827 
it  was  resolved  to  issiae  it  quarterly.  In  1835  the  title  was 
cYiangeA^oihe  Americcm  Journalof  Pha,rmacy.  In  18.5.3  itwas 
issued  bi-monthly,  and  with  the  43rd  volume  (1871)  it  was 
changed  to  a  monthly.  An  index  of  the  whole  journal  from 
1825  to  1870  was  published  about  this  time.  In  April  of  this 
year  the  5 1st  volume  will  be  commenced,  the  series  beginning 
in  1827,  when  it  was  first  issued  at  regular  intervals.  The 
history  of  the  journal  is  that  of  the  advancement  of  phar- 
macy in  the  States.  One  of  the  earliest  contributors,  Daniel 
B.  Smith,  who  was  also  a  member  of  the  "publishing  com- 
mittee "  appointed  in  1824,  still  survives.  Nearly  all  the 
men  who  have  been  the  most  brilliant  lights  of  pharmacy  in 
America  have  been  in  some  way  connected  with  tlie  journal. 
Though  not  tlie  most  brilliant,  it  is  still  one  of  the  best 
workers  in  the  field  it  was  the  first  to  occupy  in  American 
pharmacy,  and  although  it  is  older  than  any  of  its  numerous 
rivals,  we  doubt  not  that  it  will  be  one  of  the  last  to  expire. 
The  present  editor,  Mr.  John  M.  Maisch,  is  one  of  the  most 
accomplished  pharmaceutists  in  America,  and  is  perhaps  the 
most  truly  competent  pharmaceutical  editor  in  the  world. 


"Artificial  Disinfection"  is  the  title  of  a  very  im- 
portant pamphlet  iTOblished  by  Messrs.  Churchill,  and 
written  by  the  Eev.  J.  H.  Timins,  M.A.,  F.G.S.,  vicar  of 
West  Mailing,  Kent.  Mr.  Timins  justifies  his  claim  to  write 
on  a  medical  subject  by  explaining  that  he  has  had  a  regular 
medical  education,  including  attendance  on  hospital  practice 
as  a  medical  staulent  at  St.  Thomas's  Hospital  during  four 
consecutive  years.  He  appears  to  have  made  excellent  use 
of  tlie  knowledge  thus  acquired.  He  has  trained  a  staff  of 
nurses,  whose  services  have  been  offered  in  the  various 
sanitary  districts  of  Kent  whenever  there  has  been  an  out- 
break of  smallpox,  scarlet  fever,  or  diphtheria,  and  when 
accepted  in  time  he  declares  that  their  efforts  to  circum- 
scrilie  the  disease  by  means  of  disinfection  have  never  failed. 
The  chief  point  is  that  the  disinfection  must  be  thorough 
and  perseveringly  continued.  The  rules  observed  by  the 
nurses  are  to  visit  every  infected  house  two  or  three  times 
a  day  for  the  first  fortnight,  and  once  daily  for  six  or  eight 
weeks ;  to  destroy  all  contagion  by  the  i-mmcdiate  and  com- 
plete disinfection  of  everything  whicli  has  been  near  the 
patient :  everything  which  he  has  touched  or  coughed  upon  ; 
the  furniture,  bed  clothes,  floor,  closets,  &c. ;  to  wash  the 
patient  with  a  disinfecting  lotion  ;  and  to  thoroughly  fumi- 
gate his  room  after  he  has  left  it.  A  2  per  cent,  solution  of 
carbolic  acid,  and  subsequent  fumigation  with  sulphur,_  are 
the  processes  of  disinfection  which  Mr.  Timins  advises. 
There  is  no  doubt  that  a  thoroughly  efficient  system  of  dis- 
infection, promptly  applied,  would  enormously  reduce  the 
record  of  deaths.  How  is  it  to  be  efltected  on  a  large  scale  t 
By  many  following  the  example  which  this  clorgyiuan  has 
set.

"BURLIXGTONIA    (London  :  Wyman)  is  a  sliilling's  worth 
of  more  or  less  lively  dial  about  Eurlington  House  and  the 
houses,  streets,  and  squares  surrounding  it,  with  their  his- 
toric reminiscences.    The  new  Burlington  House  is  devoted 
to  the  use  of  artistic  and  scientific  societies,  but  its  pre- 
decessor held  a  certain  position  among  the  aristocratic 
houses  of  London.    Curiously  enough  it  has  almost  always 
(oeen  occupied  by  men  who  were  either  amateur  artists  or 
Datrons  of  artists,  authors,  or  scientific  men.    One  of  the 
occupants  of  the  mansion  was  Henry  Cavendish,  "  le  plus 
■iche  de  tous  les  savants,  et  le  plus  savant  de  tons  les 
fiches."     Cavendish's  discoveries  were  so  brilliant  ("  he 
veighed  the  earth,  he  analj'sed  tlie  air,  he  discovered  the 
lompound  nature  of  water  "  *),  that  it  is  difficult  to  conceive 
)f  him  as  the  plodding,  patient  worker  which  he  was.  And 
t  is  perhaps  still  more  difficult  to  understand  that  this 
irilliant  plodder  was  also  a  millionaire.    He  never  realised 
he  fact  himself  ;  for  one  day,  when  his  bankers  asked  him 
Whether  he  would  not  invest  some  thousands  which  were 
ying  idle,  he  replied,  "  Do  as  you  like  ;  but  don't  bother 
^e,°or  I  shall  remove  my  account.'''     When  the  allied 
,'overeigns  visited  London  in  181i  they  were  entertained  at 
^urlington  House,  and  a  little  later  Warren  Hastings  pre- 
ided,  in  the  same  dining-room,  at  a  grand  banquet  to  the 
luke  of  Wellington.  It  is  well  that,  amid  our  present  nine- 
jenth  century  tinsel  glories,  we  should  be  reminded  occa- 
'  cnally  of  the  giants  who  lived  before  us. 


FEIENDS  AND  FOES. 


TO  THE  EDITOR  OF  "THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 

Sir, — I  have  been  a  frequent  reader  of  your  journal, 
|d  also  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Journal,  and  I  am  very  mnch 
■prised  to  find  the  latter  paper  so  stubborn  and  adverse  in 
ing  anything  to  protect  the  cause  of  the  chemists  and 
iiggists.  I  am  proud  to  say  my  father  was  a  cliemist  and 
Uggist,  and  through  his  exertions  I  was  enabled  to  become 
urgeon,  and  I  can  assure  you,  sir,  I  shall  be  one  of  the 
t  medical  men  to  try  and  exterminate  a  class  of  men 
om  whom  many  a  surgeon  of  eminence  sjjrang)  because 
J  happen  to  prescribe  for  a  simple  cold  or  sore  throat,  &c. 
is  simply  monstrous  to  encourage  such  heartless  conduct, 
pay  informers  to  svi'ear  to  a  lie  ;  but  I  am  convinced  of 
fact  that  the  jealousy  evinced  towards  chemists  is 
efly  taken  up  by  the  tail  end  of  the  profession.  I  know 
re  are  some  few  medical  men  (sons  of  chemists)  who 
taken  up  the  cause  againstrthe  chemists'  prescribing, 
:  these  are  very  few  indeed — perliaps  men  who  have 
beaded  a  little,  and  then  turned  their  backs  on  their  own 
*iers — on  the  very  trade  which  brouglit  them  into  their 
'sent  position.  I  am  glad  to  say  I  am  not  one  of  those 
'irincipled  fellows.  AVishing  you  success  in  j'our

THE  FUTUltE  OF  COUNTER  PKACTICE. 


1  ,0  THE  EDITOR  OF  "  THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGLST." 

E,— Now  the  Apothecaries'  Company  have  withdrawn  the 
ap^al  in  Apothecaries' Company  r.  Shepperlcy,  it  behoves 
piisribing  chemists  to  consider  how  they  may  successfully 


repel  that  Wholesale  Drug  Company,  with  its  solitary  Act 
emjjowering  it  to  grant  a  medical  licence.  Two  ways  have 
been  suggested : — First,  to  elect  on  the  Council  of  the 
Pharmaceutical  Society  men  in  favoiir  of  counter  jwescribing  ; 
secondly,  by  prescribing  cliemists  combining  and  forming 
the  20th  "  College  "  New  Faculty  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons, 
Loudon.  We  glance  at  the  former  and  see  what  might  be 
suggested.  It  must  be  required  from  each  candidate  for  a 
seat  on  the  Council  that  he  should  prepare  an  address  which 
the  Secretary  should  have  printed  and  sent  with  the  journal 
three  Saturdays  before  the  day  of  election,  then  all  who 
would  not  pledge  themselves  to  i^rotect  our  rights  we  should 
keep  out  by  not  voting  for  them. 

And  here  I  would  say  we  have  a  right  to  prescribe.  The 
successful  opposition  of  the  Apothecaries  Act,  1813,  and  the 
compulsion  brought  on  the  promoters  of  the  1 81.5- Act  to 
introduce  the  saving  clause  ;  the  failure  of  Mr.  Hawe's  Bill, 
the  tenour  of  the  1858  Act,  and  the  ejectment  of  Dr.  Lush's, 
and  the  two  last  medical  Bills,  go  a  long  away  to  prove  this. 
If  it  were  a  fact  that  this  1815  Act  was  saffi.cient,  then  why 
need  they  have  troubled  further  ?  The  fact  is  self-evident 
that,  as  the  Lancet  says,  the  hack  door  of  the  profession  is  not 
sufficient,  and  we  conclude  by  inference  that  the  front  door 
(1858)  is  insufficient  also.  The  best  thing  for  the  profession 
is  to  make  every  man  put  on  his  door-plate  the  source  of  his 
diploma,  and  leave  the  public  to  judge  for  themselves.  The 
necessary  power  already  exists  for  punishing  any  one  who 
maj'  assume  anj^  title  to  which  he  has  no  claim. 

I  think  from  the  suggestions  I  have  already  received  there 
can  be  no  doubt  of  the  success  of  the  second  mode,  "  New 
Faculty  of  Phj'sicians  and  Surgeons,  London."  Don't  look  at 
Owens  College.  We  must  do  ours  independently  of  the 
Medical  Council  or  any  examining  body  in  connection  with 
that  Council.  If  carried  out  immediately  registration  on  the 
medical  register  will  be  inevitable.  Seeing  we  have  been 
driven  to  enormous  expense  in  defending  Shej^perley,  and 
might  have  more  vexatious  prosecutions  that  way,  we  had 
better  get  bej^ond  the  1815  Act  by  any  availablq  means.  I 
purpose,  by  your  permission,  next  month  to  publish  some 
suggestions  on  this  point.  In  the  meantime, .should  any  of 
your  readers  have  anything  to  say  on  this  point  through 
you,  Mr.  Editor,  I  shall  be  glad  to  receive  their  remarks.

Dear  Sir, — I  hope  the  subject  of  counter  prescribing  will 
not  be  lost  sight  of  until  we  have  secured  our  position  in  a 
satisfactory  manner.  The  difficulties  by  which  it  is  sur- 
rounded are  many  and  obvious  ;  still,  I  think,  a  way  might 
be  found  out  of  them.  I  think  it  is  quite  clear  that  no  line 
can  be  drawn,  except  the  distinction  between  counter  prac- 
tice and  out-door  visiting.  It  is  evident  that  no  definition 
can  be  given  as  to  what  constitutes  a  "simple  case,"  and 
what  does  not ;  it  must  be  left  entirely  to  the  discretion  of 
the  chemist,  and  we  all  know  the  consequences  that  would 
probably  result  from  anj^  great  error  on  his  part,  conse- 
quences from  which  the  Licentiates  of  the  Apothecaries'  Com- 
pany are  entirely  protected ;  and  in  many  cases  it  is  well  for 
them  that  they  are  so  protected.  I  am  not  of  the  opinion 
tliat  the  P.M.  licence  need  be  raised  to  204".,  which  is  more 
than  most  chemists  could  afford  to  pay,  considering  the 
very  limited  amount  of  the  sales.  The  old  rate  of  10«. 
would  be  more  than  sufficient  to  reimburse  the  revenue  for 
the  loss  of  the  grocers,  &c.  In  any  case,  I  think  we  ought 
not  to  rest  until  we  have  secured  to  ourselves  the  sole  right 
to  deal  in  them. 

I  am,  yours  truly,

Chloride  op  Lime  as  an  Insecticide. — Le  Cultimteur 
remarks  that  rats,  mice,  and  insects  will  at  once  desert

Plants  may  be  protected  from  insect  plagues  by  brushing'

that  a  patch  of  land  which  has  been  treated  in  this  way  re- 
mains religiously  respected  by  grubs,  while  the  unprotected 
beds  round  about  are  literally  devastated.  Fruit  trees  may 
be  guarded  from  tlie  attacks  of  grubs  by  attaching  to  their 
trunks  pieces  of  tow  smeared  with  a  mixture  of  chloride  of 
lime  and  hog's  lard,  and  ants  and  grubs  already  in  possession 
will  rapidly  vacate  their  position.

Examination  of  Commercial  Scammony. 
Hi/  J.  Woodland,  F.L.S.,  F.C.S.,  <5v., 
173  Ma)->jlcboite  Road,  N.  W. 

Happening  to  test  a  sample  of  scammony,  and  finding 
starch  and  a  large  iicrcentage  of  ash  present,  I  obtained 
10  other  samples  from  hotli  Londun  and  provincial  chemists, 
and  by  testing  obtained  the  following  results 

Six  samples  contained  large  proportions  of  starch. 

Two  samples  contained  only  traces  of  starch. 

Seven  samples  contained  5  to  12  per  cent,  of  ash. 

Two  samples  contained  no  starch,  and  only  small  percentages  (3  to  3  0)  of 
earthy  matter. 

I  found  no  jalap,  common,  or  guaiacum  resin  present  in 
any  of  the  samples.  The  starch  granules,  wlien  seen  under 
the  microscope,  were  identified  as  those  of  wheat. 

On  estimation  to  ascertain  the  percentages  of  resin 
present,  the  following  were  the  results  : — 

One  sample  contained  58  per  cent,  of  resin. 

Two  samples  contained  i-espcctively  G9  ami  7"  per  cent. 

Five  samples  cont.ainel  from  7C  to  8)  per  cent. 

Two  samples  contained  respectively  81  and  83  per  cent. 

The  percentages  of  resin  were  ascertained  by  boiling  a 
weiglied  quantity  of  the  sample  in  a  test-tube  with  ether, 
pouring  olf  the  clear  liquid  on  to  a  weighed  filter  paper 
(previously  moistened  with  ether),  again  boiling  residue 
with  ether,  pouring  this  clear  liquid  on  to  the  weighed  filter, 
and  repeating  tliis  process  a  third  time  ;  the  filter  paper  was 
tlicn  washed  with  ctlier,  and  the  filtered  ethereal  liquids 
containing  tiie  resin  liaving  been  received  into  a  weighed 
vessel,  tlic  ether  was  evaporated  by  a  gentle  heat,  and  the 
increase  in  weight  of  tlie  vessel  noticed.  The  filter  paper 
was  then  dried,  and  the  increase  in  weight  noted.  Tlie 
filter  paper  was  weighed  in  order  to  confirm  the  percentage 
of  resin  obtained,  the  increase  in  weight  of  the  filter  and 
•weighed  vessel  equalling  the  amount  of  the  sample  taken. 

fScammony,  it  is  stated,  should  form  a  white  emulsion 
with  water,  but  in  the  cases  of  tlie  seven  which  yielded 
from  .5  to  12  per  cent,  of  ash  the  emulsions  had  a  very  dirty 
appearance. 

Altogctlicr  I  purchased  18  samples,  but  four  supplied  as 
scammony  consisted  of  the  B.P.  compound  scammony  powder, 
and  two  of  resin. 

Note  on  the  Syrup  of  the  Phosphates.* 

If  the  literature  (we  do  not  say  chemistry)  of  the  "  Syrup  of 
tlie  Phosphates  "  has  not  been  thoroughly  threshed  out,  a 
practical  note  bearing  on  the  precipitation  of  the  phosphate 
of  iron  may  possibly  still  be  tolerated.  Every  maker  of 
these  preparations  is  aware  how  difficult  it  is  to  get  a 
uniform  precipitate  of  the  phosphate  of  iron  on  mixing  the 
solutions  of  soda  and  iron.  Generally,  the  precipitate  is 
obtained  as  a  dirty  greenish  blue  or  greyish  white  gelatinous 
mass,  very  copious,  and  falling  with  difficulty,  and  by  any 
ordinary  process  almost  impossible  to  wash.  Occasionally, 
but  much  less  frequently,  it  is  obtained  in  a  white  granular 
form,  falling  readily,  and  presenting  every  facility  for 
quick  washing  and  dispatch.  We  are  not  aware  that  the 
conditions  determining  the  production  of  the  precipitate  in 
this  last  and  most  desirable  form  have  been  fully  investi- 
gated. Mr.  Howie  (The  Chemist  and  Druggist,  1876, 
119),  and  other  writers  since,  have  given  somewhat 
elaborate  instructions  as  to  the  temperature  of  the  solu- 
tions previous  to  mi.xing,  the  mode  in  which  they  are  to 
be  mixed,  and  so  on;  ^nd  certainly  more  satisfactory, 
though  not  always  uniform,  results  can  be  obtained  with 
strict  adherence  to  their  directions  than  by  other 
molhods  hitherto  stated.  To  produce,  however,  a  uniform 
granular  precipitate  with  as  much  certainty  as  a  chemical 
reaction  has  never  been  accomplished,  even  if  the 
idea  has  been  entertained,  by  anyone  of  this  somewhat 
erratic  substance.  The  following  observations,  if  innumer- 
able experiments  do  not  lie,  will  determine  the  conditions 

•  Th's  note  is  in  continuation  of  an  article  on  the  same  subject  which 
appeared  in  The  Chiqiist  and  Dulogist,  Anguat,  1876. 


under  which  such  a  precipitate  will  be  produced,  and,  if  we 
mistake  not,  it  will  be  fovrnd  not  difficult  to  reconcile  the 
results  with  Mr.  Howies  observations.  Let  the  two 
crystalline  salts — the  granulated  sulphate  of  iron  and  the 
phosphate  of  soda — be  placed  together  in  a  suitable  vessel, 
and  hot  water  added  barely  sufficient  to  dissolve  them.  Let 
them  be  thoroughly  stirred  or  shaken  togetlier  until  the 
crystals  are  dissolved,  or  nearly  so,  when  more  hot  water  may 
be  added  by  degrees.  We  have  paid  little  attention  to  the 
temperature  of  the  water  employed,  being  guided  in  this 
entirely  by  consideration  for  the  glass  vessel  in  which  the 
experiments  were  usually  conducted.  But  uniform  results 
may  be  depended  upon  at  any  intermediate  jjoint  betwixt 
32°  and  212°  Fahr.,  with  this  excei^tion  :  that  when  cold 
water  is  used  the  crystals  dissolve  very  slowly,  and  the 
process  is  correspondingly  tedious,  and,  moreover,  is  accom- 
panied with  considerable  oxidation  ;  whilst,  on  the  other 
hand,  if  the  water  be  boiling,  the  crystals  dissolve  very 
quickly,  and  the  formation  of  the  granular  ferrous  precipi- 
tate seems  to  be  much  finer  and  less  perfect.  It  ought  to  be 
stated  here  that  the  formula  used  in  the  experiments  from 
which  the  foregoing  results  were  obtained  was  not  the 
B.P.,  but  tlie  modification  of  the  French  Codex  recom- 
mended in  The  Chemist  and  Druggist,  1876,  p.  292. 
This,  shortly  staled,  consists  simply  in  taking  double  the 
quantity  of  phosphate  of  soda  to  the  sulphate  of  iron.  A 
very  long  course  of  observations  has  determined  this,  in  our 
estimation,  to  be  the  most  satisfactory  of  all  the  methods  of 
obtaining  the  phosphate  precipitate  in  any  thing  approaching 
to  theoretical  proportion;  and,  proceeding  in  the  way  just 
indicated,  satisfactory  results  can  scarcely  fail  to  be 
obtained,  not  only  as  to  the  amount  of  precipitate,  but  also 
as  to  the  form  in  which  it  will  be  presented. 


Oleic  Acid  and  Oleates. 
L.  Wolff  states  that  even  the  purified  oleic  acid  of  com- 
merce contains  a  considerable  proportion  of  stearic 
acid,  which  materially  alters  preparations  made  with 
it'.  He  has  made  very  numerous  experiments  on  the  subject, 
and  finds  tiiat  the  best  way  to  obtain  pure  oleic  acid  is  to 
saponify  almond  oil  with  lead  oxide,  as  directed  in  the 
U.y.  P.,  using  50  per  cent,  more  of  litharge  to  ensure  com- 
plete saponification.  The  soap  is-  dissolved  in  benzin,  aud 
after  standing  lead  palmitate  is  deposited.  The  solation  of 
lead  oleate  is  shaken  repeatedly  with  dilute  HCl  (1  to  7)  to 
separate  the  lead,  and  warmed  to  expel  the  benzin.  The 
oleates  made  with  acid  thus  prepared  are  fluid  and  trans- 
parent, and  do  not  gelatinise,  while  the  oleostearates  in 
common  use  are  mostly  thick  and  turbid.  Oleic  acid  should 
be  light  yellow,  readily  miscible  with  alcohol  of  92  per  cent, 
in  all  proportions,  witliout  causing  turbidity,  not  acted  on  by 
ammonium  sulphide,  and  not  congealing  or  depositing  at  the 
freezing-point  of  water.  Oleates  prepared  with  pure  acid 
are  best  dispensed  with  one  of  the  paraffin  compounds,  such 
as  vaseline  or  ozokerine.  They  will  probably  be  found  better 
suited  for  hypodermic  injections  than  compounds  of  any 
other  acid.  Pure  oleic  acid  combines  readily  with  alkaloids, 
but  refuses  to  take  up  extractive  and  colouring  matters.  The 
author  has  found  it  useful  in  preparing  pilocarpine  from  the 
leaves,  in  a  short  time  and  a  comparatively  pure  condition. 
He  considers  that  it  may  be  made  of  much  service  in  pre- 
paring alkaloids. — Am.  Journ.  Ph.,  vol.  li.,  p.  8. 

Dialysed  Iron. 

G.  H.  0.  Klie  finds  that  the  most  convenient  apparatus  for 
preparing  dialysed  iron  on  the  small  scale  is  a  porcelain 
filtering  basket  (a  funnel  with  perforated  sides)  placed  in  a 
column  of  water  several  inches  long,  wliicli  is  level  witli  the 
top  of  tlie  basket.  A  septum  of  vegetable  parchment  well 
soaked  in  water,  and  folded  like  a  filter,  is  placed  in  the 
basket  and  filled  witli  tlie  solution  to  be  dialysed.  The 
lengtli  of  the  column  of  water  allows  the  solution  of  dialysed 
saline  matters  to  fall  to  the  bottom,  and  a  supply  of  fresh 
water  to  take  its  place.  To  replenish  the  apparatus  the 
water  is  drawn  off,  the  septum  pushed  on  one  side,  a  funnel 
placed  with  its  neck  through  one  of  the  holes  in  the  basket, 
aud  fresh  water  poured  in.  Tlie  best  iron  solution  for 
dialysis  is  made  by  adding  to  3  fluid  ounces  solution  of 
chloride  of  iron  (U.S.P.)  6  fluid  ounces  of  water  of  ammonia 
(U.S.P.).     If  diligently  stirred  the  mixture  will  become

clear  in  20  minutes,  and  can  be  completely  dialysed  in 
11  days.  The  finished  product  measured  KH  fluid  ounces, 
and  contained  5  per  cent,  of  solid  matter.  The  above  expe- 
riments were  rnade  with  parchment  paper  measuring 
248  square  inches  to  1  ounce  avoirdupois  at  a  temperature 
of  between  70°  and  95°  Fahr.  With  paper  measuring 
560  square  inches  to  1  ounce  avoirdupois,  at  a  temperature 
oetween  40°  to  70',  the  dialysis  was  completed  in  five  days. 
Well  or  hard  water  can  be  used  instead  of  distilled  water, 
.s^ithout  in  the  least  affecting  the  quality  of  the  product,  and 
t  is  a  convenient  fact  that  when  made  from  the  solution 
nentioned  above  the  finished  product  always  contains  5  per

GuMMi  RESiNiE  Via  Humida  Depubata. 

5.  DiETERiCH  writes  in  the  Pharm.  Ccntral-hallc  that  a 
olleague  had  told  him  that  by  dissolving  gum-resins  in 
urpentine,  in  an  unpowdered  condition,  diluting  with  spirit 
f  wine  and  straining,  a  purified  resin  was  obtained,  which 
IZ&  much  freer  from  dirt  than  the  purified  resins  obtained 
1  the  usual  way  by  powdering  the  resin,  and  states  that  he 
ad  followed  the  plan  on  a  large  scale  witli  much  success. 
The  only  difficulty  I  found  was  in  straining  through  a 
oth,  which  I  therefore  replaced  by  a  very  fine-meshed  brass 
,eve."   The  product  he  found  much  richer  in  specific  odour, 
.  ,id  this  was  attributed  to  the  less  exposure  to  the  air.  But 
I  order  to  avoid  any  trace  of  turpentine,  which  after 
'aporation  was  still    liable  to  cling  to  the  resins,  he 
js  : — "  I  determined  to  purify  the  same  by  the  wet  process, 
ith  spirits  of  wine  only,  and  without  the  addition  of  tur- 
intine.     I   took   in   general    10  kilogrammes   each  of 
( .amoniacum,  galbanum,  or  asafoetida,  which  I  put  in  the 
'i.ening  in  an  enamelled  iron    boiler,  made  firm  in  the 
i-iter-bath,  added  2-5  litres  of  00  per  cent,  spirits  of  wine, 
{i'd  left  standing  over  night.    Next  morning  the  bath  was 
pised  to  40°  C,  and  the  resins  worked  about  with  a  wooden 
,t(ib  for  about  three  hours,  till  all  were  pulverised.  Anaddi- 
llinal  2-5  litres  spirits  of  wine  were  added,  and  the  solution 
ten  obtained  with  the  sediment  rubbed  through  tlie  brass 
f:ve.     The  gum  remaining  on  the  fieve  was  dissolved 
$  another  2-5  litres  spirits  of  wine  and  passed  through 
it;  sieve.      Tlie  gum  remaining  after  this  process  was 
ff:y  small,   and   of    little   value.       The  tincture  was 
ifljanted,  and  tlie  .spirit  evaporated   at  a  temperature 

0  50°  C,  until  there  remained  no  smell  of  alcohol. 
tl3  following  were  the  separate  results  obtained  : — From 

1  kilogrammes  asafojtida  and  10  litres  sp.  vin.  was  obtained 
^  to  kilogrammes  ;  residuum,  1-650  kilogramme  ;  sediment, 
ii20  kilogramme ;  loss,  O-6'.JO  kilogramme.  With  10  kilo- 
g  mmes  ammoniac  and  10  litres  sp.  vin.,  8-000  kilogrammes  ; 
Kdiium,  1-250  kilogramme  ;  sediment,  0-240  kilogramme; 
Ic  ,  0-510  kilogramme.  Witli  10  kilogrammes  galbanum  and 
K.litres  sji.  vin.,  result  7-500  kilogrammes  ;  residuum, 
l-)0  kilogramme  ;  sediment,  0-360  kilogramme  loss, 
O'  O  kilogramme.  If  we  take  into  consideration  that  such 
a  le-meshed  sieve  as  I  use  with  tlie  wet  process  cannot  be 
uf.l  by  pulverisation,  and  that  a  larger-meshed  one  would 
le  through  a  great  manj'  foreign  substances,  without  getting 
rl.of  them  as  I  do  bj'  decanting  ;  and  that,  besides,  a  con- 
si'.rable  quantity  of  coarse  sand  would  be  sifted  through 
w  1  the  gum-resin,  it  is  evident  that  the  preference  must 
be.-iven  to  the  '  via  liumida  '  process.  As  by  the  pulverising 
pr  ess,  however,  to  make  the  affair  pay,  only  large  quanti- 
ti<  should  be  treated." 

tj  A  German  Note  on  Ozokerine. 

BBH's  Pharmaceutische  Central-liulh  says  : — "  About  two 
yes  ago  a  preparation  of  American  petroleum  was  intro- 
du:d  from  New  York  under  tlie  name  of  '  vaseline.'  It  is  a 
pa  flfinous  substance  of  the  consistency  of  somewhat  soft 
lai,  yellowish  in  colour,  and  translucent,  and  was  strongly 
reimmended  as  a  substitute  for  lard  for  pharmaceutical 
pil  oses,  and  in  the  preparation  of  cosmetics.  As  this  pre- 
pation  is  not  subject  to  become  rancid,  it  would  be 
re;i]y  employed  on  account  of  this  excellent  property  but 
^'•\  two  important  circumstances  stand  against  its 
unersal  introduction.  The  first  is,  or  was,  the  price, 
wh,li  is  proportionately  too  high  ;  and  the  second  is  the 
coi  stency,  which  i.s  somewhat  too  soft,  being  in  a  hot 
Bur,ner  almost  semi-fluid,  and  admixture  with  yellow  wax 
not,o  be  thought  of. 


"We  have  lately  received  from  Austria  a  preparation 
similar  to  vaseline,  under  the  name  ozolterine,  also  a 
paraffinous  substance,  whicli,  on  account  of  its  excelleat 
properties,  may  look  forward  to  an  introduction  into  the 
Materia  Medica  as  a  substitute  for  lard.  This  body, 
ozokerine,  which  the  pharmacist  may  fittingly  denote 
axunoia  i)araffiinca,  has  great  resemblance  to  vaseline, 
but  with  neither  of  the  drawbacks  mentioned,  since  it  is 
firmer  in  consistencj^,  and  the  price  is  lower.  In 
order  to  test  the  use  of  ozokerine  in  pharmacy  and  perfumery 
we  have  prepared  various  salves  and  pomades  with  it.  In 
those  ointments  containing  watery  fluids  (for  example, 
iodide  of  potassium  ointment)  the  translucency  of  the 
ozokerine  is  lost,  and  the  mixture  resembles  a  salve  prepared 
with  lard,  except  that  instead  of  being  pure  white  it  has  a 
tinge  of  yellow.  Iodide  of  potassium  not  being  decomposed 
by  ozokerine,  this  ointment  may  be  prepared  without  the 
addition  of  hj-posulphite  of  sodium.*  Iodide  of  potassium 
ointment  prepared  with  ozokerine  and  placed  aside  in  an 
open  vessel  for  five  weeks  was  at  the  end  of  that  time  as 
free  from  smell  as  when  first  prepared.  A  pomade  perfumed 
with  bergamot  and  tinged  with  a  few  drojis  of  an  alcoholic 
solution  of  rosaniline,  and  made  hard  and  firm  by  addition 
of  j'ellow  wax,  was  similarly  experimented  with,  and  at  the 
end  of  the  same  time  remained  unchanged.  The  virtue  of 
not  becoming  rancid  cannot  be  too  highly  valued.  For  the 
preparation  of  hard  salves  and  pomades,  which  should  not 
soon  change,  it  is  only  necessary  to  use  a  pure  beeswax.  One 
would  not,  however,  incorporate  ozokerine  with  white  wax, 
Japan  wax,  or  ceresine,  which  Japan  wax  usually  contains, 
these  having  a  tendency  to  become  rancid  quickly.  The  use 
of  ozokerine  in  place  of  lard  for  making  up  prescriptions  we 
do  not  consider  at  present  permissible.'' 

Syrup  op  Orange  Peel. 

M.  YVON,  in  the  Journal  dc  Pharniacie  ct  dc  Chhiiic,  gives 
this  formula,  which  he  says  yields  an  infinitely  finer  syrup 
than  the  Codex  process  gives.  Take  400  grammes  of  bitter 
orange  peel,  freed  from  the  white,  and  in  ribbons,  and 
100  grammes  of  curaijao  orange  peel  similarly  prepared,  all 
broken  up  in  small  pieces,  and  macerate  in  500  grammes  of 
alcohol  at  60°  for  12  hours.  The  tincture  thus  obtained 
(about  200  grammes)  is  to  be  poured  off  and  preserved,  the 
peel  being  lightly  pressed  in  a  linen  bag.  Then  pour  on 
the  marc  5  litres  of  boiling  water,  and  macerate  in  a  closed 
vessel  until  it  becomes  cold  (about  C  hours)  ;  pour  off,  press- 
lightly  through  a  linen  bag,  and  make  a  syrup  by  dissolving 
in  the  liquid  9.J-  kilos,  of  white  sugar  in  a  closed  vessel. 
Filter  through  paper,  and  when  nearlj"  cold  add  the  aromatic 
tincture  first  prepared  from  the  peel.  The  product  will 
contain  about  1-5  per  cent,  of  alcohol. 

Syrup  of  Cinchona. 

The  same  auHior  suggests  a  process  for  this  syrup^to  replace 
the  formula  of  the  Codex,  acidulated  water  being  employed 
instead  of  spirit  as  a  solvent  for  the  resinoids  and  alkaloids. 
Take  500  grammes  of  yellow  cinchona,  coarsely  powdered, 
pour  on  it  3,000  grammes  of  water  and  5  grammes  of  sul- 
phuric acid,  boil  in  a  copper  vessel  for  about  an  hour,  or 
until  a  litre  of  water  has  evaporated,  strain  the  liquor 
through  a  cloth,  and  repeat  the  boiling  with  2,000  grammes 
of  water,  but  with  no  acid.  A  third  decoction  may  be  made 
if  the  marc  is  still  bitter.  Finally,  the  marc  is  to  be  boiled 
for  half  an  hour  with  1,500  grammes  of  water  containing 
8  grammes  of  bicarbonate  of  soda.  This  decoction  will  be 
very  high-coloured,  as  the  alkali  will  dissolve  the  red  quinovic 
acid.  On  mixing  the  several  decoctions  a  neutral  mixture  will 
be  obtained,  which  is  to  be  concentrated  (the  author  docs  not 
state  to  what  extent.)  A  .syrup  to  be  made  by  dissolving  in 
the  liquid  5,000  grammes  of  sugar. 

An  Easily-constructed  Dialysor. 
M.  IIuiziNGA  writes  in  the  Naturforscher  : — "  The  efforts  to 
make  dialysors  of  larger  capacity  have  led  to  the  applica- 
tion of  a  new  membrane  made  from  vegetable  parchment. 
For  the  purpose  rectangular  bags  made  from  iiarchment 
paper  may  be  pasted  together,  using  as  glue  a  solution  of 
gelatine  containing  15  per  cent.,  to  which  .should  be  added 
3  to  5  ix;r  cent,  chromate  of  potash.  In  order  to  harden  the 
glue  the  pasted  bags  are  exposed  to  the  air.    The  glue  can

to  be  made  warm  before  use  each  time.  The  upper  openings 
of  the  bags  are  afterwards  opened  by  frames,  the  bags  are

A  Eeady  Process  for  the  Estimatiox  of  Opium.* 

M.  A.  Petit  describes  a  process  which  gives  very  accurate 
results  in  respect  to  morphia,  and  which  does  not  occupy 
longer  than  two  hours.  Take  ]  .j  grammes  of  opium  and 
75  grammes  of  distilled  water.  Filter,  and  take  50  grammes 
of  the  liquid  which  passes  this  representing  10  grammes  of 
02iium  ;  add  3  cc.  of  ammonia,  and  agitate.  Morphia  is 
rapidly  deposited.  After  standing  for  a  quarter  of  an  hour 
add  27  grammes  of  alcohol  95°.  After  several  agitations  let 
the  mixture  stand  half  an  hour.  Then  throw  the  whole  on 
a  tared  filter,  wash  the  alkaloid  several  times  with  alcohol 
at  50°,  and  afterwards  wash  and  weigh. 

8PIEITS  OF  WixE  :x  Ethereal  Oils. 

A.  Drechsler  {Chcm.  Zcit//.)  detects  the  above  by  means  of 
a  solution  of  1  ))art  acid  chromate  of  potash  in  10  parts  of 
nitric  acid  of  1-30  specific  gravity.  With  this  reagent  the 
presence  of  the  smallest  jn-oportion  of  alcohol  in  ethereal 
oils  may  be  traced,  as,  besides  the  well-known  pungent 
smell  of  nitrous  ether,  at  the  same  time  a  very  charac- 
teristic change  of  colour  occurs,  varying  according  to  the 
different  ethereal  oils.  These  changes  of  colour  are  best 
observed  upon  small  watchglass- shaped  porcelain  shells. 

Liquor  Feeri  Dialysati. 
Schneider,  of  Basel,  in  the  Sclncekcrische  Wochc/ischri/t 
fiir  Phannacic,  prejmres  the  above  very  conveniently  as 
follows: — 300  grammes  of  the  commercial  crystallised 
chloride  of  iron  are  dissolved  in  100  0  of  distilled  water, 
and  350'0  liquid  ammonia  are  added  very  graduall}-,  the 
solution  at  the  same  time  being  kcjat  cool,  waiting  the 
while  till  the  precipitated  oxide  of  iron  has  again  dissolved. 
Should  a  portion  of  the  latter  remain  undissolved,  the 
process  is  facilitated  by  adding  a  few  drops  of  liquor  ferri 
sesquichlor.  The  pure  solution  is  afterwards  put  upon  the 
dialysor,  which  swims  in  a  tub  of  distilled  water.  The  last 
is  changed  daily,  and  till  the  silver  solution  does  not  create 
a  reaction  in  the  strongly-diluted  iron  solution,  and  only 
produces  a  slight  turbidity  in  the  distilled  water  of  the 
dialysor.  The  specific  gravity  is  then  determined  and  the 
product  diluted  with  water  to  the  required  degree  (5  per 
cent.,  1-046  .specific  gravity).  The  result  from  300  grammes 
ferr.  sesquichl.  cryst.  is  about  1,900  grammes,  and  for  its 
production  about  12  to  14  daj'S  are  required. 

To  Test  Olive  Oil. 

In  order  to  find  out  if  olive  oil  is  adulterated  with  other 
fatty  oils,  Poutet  gives  the  following  process  in  the  jVewe 
Woclwnschrift  fiir  dc/!  Oil-  ii.'FcttKaareiiliaiidcl.  First  pro- 
duce nitrate  of  mercurj^  by  dissolving  6  grammes  of  quick- 
silver in  7'5  grammes  nitric  acid  from  38°  to  4C°  B.  in  the 
cold.  To  96  grammes  of  the  oil  to  be  tested,  add 
8  grammes  of  the  nitrate  of  mercur}',  well  .shaking  every  10 
minutes  during  two  hoiu-s.  After  12  hours'  rest  the 
elai'dine  shows  itself  in  pure  oil  of  a  pale-yellow  colour, 
and  as  a  firm  substance,  while  in  adulterated  oil  the 
ela'idine  appears  orange  or  dark  red,  and  is  only  partially, 
or  not  at  all,  solid.  In  order  to  see  if  olive  oil  is  adulterated 
with  sesame  oil,  shake  two  parts  of  the  suspected  oil  at  a 
temperature  of  20°  to  25°  with  one  part  of  pure  nitric  acid  of 
20°,  in  which  previously  0'05  to  O'l  gramme  sugar  lias  been 
dissolved.  After  a  little  rest  the  oil  separates  from  the  acid, 
and  takes,  if  sesame  oil  be  present,  a  rose  colour.  The  more 
intense  this  colour  the  larger  is  tlic  amount  of  the  sesame 
oil  present. 

Recognition  of  IVIirbane  Essence  in  Cherry-laurel 
Oil  and  Bitter-almond  Oil. 

Easy  though  it  appears,  says  Dr.  Enrico  Pegna,  to  dis- 
tinguish cherry-laurel  oil,  or  bitter  oil  of  almonds,  and 
nitrobenzin,  when  these  substances  are  separated  before  us, 
the  different  methods  of  detection  are  less  reliable  when  the 
question  is  to  prove  the  existence  of  the  deceptive  nitro- 


benzin in  cherry-laurel  oil.  After  mentioning  the  different: 
researches  of  Chevallier,  Maisch,  Hoffmann,  and  others,: 
Pegna  gives  the  following  reliable  test:— To  the'  cherry- 
laurel  oil  or  bitter-almond  oil  to  be  analysed  add  a  small' 
quantity  of  alcohol,  mix  with  this  a  solution  of  caustic 
potash  in  purified  spirit  of  wine,  and  a  few  drops  of  chloride- 
of  iron  solution.  Leave  this  mixture  for  a  few  hours,  then 
shake  well  and  distil.  A  small  part  of  the  distilled  oil  is 
poured  into  a  test-tube  over  a  few  pieces  of  caustic  potash, 
and  warmed  over  a  lamp.  If  the  oil  is  pure  it  remains  un- 
coloured,  as  the  hcnzoylhijdride  is  converted  into  benzoate 
of  potash  and  hydrogen.  If,  however,  the  oil  is  con- 
taminated with  mirbane  essence  (nitrobenzin),  a  dark 
colour  is  developed ;  and  as,  besides,  by  this  reaction  a 
small  quantity  of  aniline  is  formed,  if  a  few  drops  of 
solution  of  chloride  of  lime  are  poured  upon  the  cooled' 
mixture,  they  take  a  violet  colour. — From  "  L'Orosi,"  in  tlife

QUINI^  BiMURIATICUM  CARBAMIDATUM.* 

This  new  quinine  salt  is  prompt  in  its  effects  and  is  useful 
in  catarrhal  and  gastric  fevers.  It  is  distinguished  for  its 
easy  solubility  in  water.  Drygin  gives  the  following 
formula  for  its  production.  One  equivalent  (396-5  parts) 
muriate  of  quinine  is  dissolved  iu  one  equivalent  (about  250 
parts)  of  muriatic  acid  of  1-07  specific  gravity,  by  stirring 
in  a  porcelain  vessel,  and  the  solution  is  filtered.  To  this  is 
added  the  equivalent  (GO  parts)  pure  urea,  free  from  sulphate 
of  ammonium.  This  is  stirred  about,  dissolved  by  a  gentle 
heat,  stirring  meanwhile,  and  the  solution  is  placed  mme- 
diately  in  a  cool  place  for  crystallisation.  After  21,  hours 
the  formed  crystals  are  placed  on  a  filter,  left  to  drain,  and 
washed  with  very  cold  water,  and  afterwards  dried  on  flat 
plates  at  ordinary  temperature.

Violet  Powder. — Messrs.  G.  F.  Snook  &  Son,  of  376 
City  Road,  have  asked  our  attention  to  their  Id.  violet 
powder,  on  the  wrapper  of  every  packet  of  which  they  print 
a  guarantee  that  it  consists  entirely  of  pure  starch  per- 
fumed. 

Utilisation  of  the  Dead  Sea. — The  Paris  correspondent 
of  the  Times  says  that  a  native  of  Marseilles  has  purchased 
the  right  of  extracting  chlorate  of  potash  from  the  Dead 
Sea,  which  ho  expects  to  be  able  to  offer  in  London  at  72.?.  a 
ton,  whereas  the  present  price  of  that  article  is  104s. 
Evidently  it  is  chloride  of  potassium  which  is  here  referred 
to.  The  greater  part  of  this  salt  in  commerce  is  at  present 
obtained  from  Austria  and  Hung■arJ^  It  is  also  yielded  as  a 
by-jwoduct  in  the  manufacture  of  iodine  from  kelp,  and  in 
the  beet  sugar  manufacture.  It  is  used  as  manure,  and  also 
to  a  considerable  extent  in  the  manufacture  of  nitrate, 
sulphate,  and  chlorate  of  potash.  Any  such  important 
reduction  as  that  indicated  by  the  Times  would  no  doubt 
vastly  increase  the  use  of  the  salt  in  these  manufactuies,^ 
and  would  lower  the  cost  of  all  of  them.  ;

'Trommer's  Malt  Extract,  which  is  now  introduced  to 
je'^English  trade  by  Messrs.  Lynch  &  Co.,  is  one  of  the  best 

I the  various  preparations  of  a  similar  character,  and  has 
.ineslfe,, considerable  reputation  in  the  United  States.  It  is  of 
e  consistence  of  thin  honey  or  treacle,  and  has  a  pleasant 
■jvour,  rendered  slightly  bitter  by  a  trace  of  hop.  The 
■{idicinal  action  of  malt  in  effecting  the  solution  and 
'gestion  of  starch  foods  is  a  very  reasonable  one,  but  it  can 
'ly  have  its  proper  influence  if  the  extract  is  prepared 
'thout  fermentation.  Professor  Redwood  finds  Trommer's 
I'tract  has  all  the  power  of  acting  on  amylaceous  bodies 
lich  diastase  possesses,  and  he  considers  the  preparation 
J'3  been  made  with  great  care  and  judgment.  It  forms  a

Surgical  Instruments  Exhibition.— Tlie  Cutlers'  Com-

to  hold  in  London,  in  May  next,  an  exhibition  of  cutlery  in 
all  its  branches,  including  surgical  instruments  and  swords. 
A  meeting  to  consider  the  matter  was  held  in  Sheflaeld  on 
January  31.  Those  present  were  certainly  not  enthusi- 
astically in  favour  of  tlie  scheme,  and  it  was  decided  that 
nothing  could  be  done  immediately.

Rhamnus  Frangula  Lozenges. — Abundant  testimony  to 
the  value  of  the  alder  buckthorn  as  an  aperient  has  been 
borne  by  many  witnesses  since  Mr.  Baildon,  of  Edinburgh, 
introduced  it  to  English  pharmacy  in  1871.  At  the  London 
Pharmaceutical  Conference  in  1874  Mr.  Ince,  Mr.  Giles,  and 
others  spoke  of  it  almost  lovingly,  and|  evidently  from  inti- 
mate acquaintance.  Messrs.  H.  C.  Baildon  &  Son  have  now 
prepared  lozenges  with  the  Rhamnus  franrjida  as  the  active 
ingredient,  and  these  are  made  tempting,  after  the  style  of 
the  well-known  Frencli  remedy,  the  Tamar  Indien.  We 
should  think  they  arc  likely  to  become  popular.

customers,  and  to  these  the  prices  are  remarkably  low,  lO.s-. 
per  gross,  for  instance,  for  sodas.  The  list  will  be  found

circular  of  the  Association  which  curiously  illustrates  the 
view  traders  now  take  of  professional  analysts.  We  are

TjiYiMoL  Soap. — The  value  of  thymol  as  an  antiseptic 
or  disinfectant  has  not  been  disputed, and  so  much  testimony 
exists  as  to  its  efficacy  that  we  cannot  doubt  it  will,  before 
long,  come  largely  into  commerce.  It  has  been  particularly 
recommenddd  as  a  useful  applicat ion,  in  the  form  of  oint- 
ment, in  skin  diseases,  and  its  combination  with  soap  is 
therefore  likclj-  to  be  a  convenient  and  pleasant  means  of 
preserving  in  health  the  hands  and  face.  As  thymol  is 
readily  soluble  in  oils,  and  as  it  also  possesses  in  itself  an 
agreeable  cdour,  a  soap  made  with  it  seems  to  be  very 
naturally  suggested.  JMcssrs.  Ferris  &  Co.  have  carried  out 
the  idea  in  a  style  which  it  will  be  hard  for  any  competitor 
t  o  beat.  The  soap  is  put  up  in  boxes,  containing  three  (jd. 
tablets  each,  wiapped  in  tinfoil.  It  is  very  fragrant. 
The  show-card  sent  out  by  Messrs.  Ferris  &  Co.  is  admirable, 
both  in  design  and  execution,  and  is  worthy  of  a  position  in 
any  pharmacy.  It  is  the  work  of  Messrs.  Robinson,  a 
Bristol  firm,  who  well  deserve  to  be  thus  mentioned. 

« 

Bronchitis  Ivi:ttle  and  Robson's  Inhaler. — We  have 
had  frequent  occa-^ion  to  notice  the  various  sanitary  appli- 
ances introduced  by  Messrs.  J.  Allen  &  Son,  of  Jfarylebone 
Lane.  Their  portable  Turkish  baths,  bronchitis  kettles,  and 
some  other  arrangements  have  become  fairly  well  known. 
The  same  firm  lias  now  made  a  kettle  which  will  suffice  in 
many  cases  of  bronchitis  for  the  supply  of  warm  moist  air 
simi^ly.  The  kettle  is  almost  like  an  ordinary  one,  and  may 
be  used  for  any  purposes,  but  with  it  is  supplied  a  long  tube, 
■which  may  be  fitted  into  the  spout  so  as  to  conduct  the 


warm  vapour  to  an  invalid  when  required.  A  new  inhaler 
introduced  by  this  firm  is  an  economical,  unbreakable,  and 
efl'ectivc  one.  The  engraving  shows  its  construction.  Tl.e 
liquid  to  bo  inhaled,  containing  medicament,  is  put  in  the 
vessel,  which  is  provided  with  a  glass  mouthpiece  attached 


to  the  lid,  which  is  made  to  fit  air-tight.  The  secondary 
drawing  represents  a  cover,  which  drops  loosely  over 
the  air-chamber  in  the  inhaler.  On  inspiration  at  the 
mouthpiece  a  vacuum  is  caused  in  the  upper  part  of  the 
vessel,  and  the  air,  passing  through  the  holes  round  the 
bottom,  passes  up  the  chamber  and  is  conducted  to  the 
bottom  of  the  inhaler,  thus  passing  entirely  through  the 
medicated  liquid.

THE  CHEMIST  AND  DRUGGIST. 


[February  15,1879. 


What  are  the  stages  of  disease  ?— Ill,  pill,  bill. 

What  are  the  stages  of  success  ? — Get  on,  get  honour,  get 
honest. 

The  Olive  Chop. — Advices  from  Bari  (Najjles)  state  that 
the  last  olive  crop  is  so  abundant  that  the  dealers  say  a 
similar  one  has  never  been  seen  either  for  quantity  and 
quality. 

What  is  tlie  dilTeronce  in  the  treatment  of  a  child  by  its 
niotlier  and  a  doctor.'  One  whacks  an'  loves  it,  the  other 
vaccinates  it.  What  an  un-.Jenner-us  thing,  says  the  Briuj- 
(j{«ts'  A(lccrt\xi:r,  to  say  of  vaccination  I 

An  Irishman  said  his  physician  stuffed  him  so  with 
medicine,  that  he  was  sick  a  long  time  after  he  got  well. 
This  wiis  the  same  man  that  told  his  physician,  who  had 
written  him  a  prescription  for  an  emetic,  "that  it  was  no 
use  to  give  it  him,  he  could  not  keep  it  down." 

A  Grand  Illustration. — A  lecturer  on  chemistry  said  : 
"To  illustrate  how  elements  that  are  perfectly  harmless  in 
themselves  may  become  destructive  by  combination,  take 
the  case  of  a  gun  and  a  small  boy.  Wliat  can  be  more 
harmless  than  each  of  these  when  alone  by  itself  ?  or  can  be 
more  dangerous  in  combination  1  " 

American  Competition. — Professor  J.  Gibbons  Hunt, 
M.D.,  of  riiiladelphia,  in  a  recent  lecture,  stated  that,  in  his 
opinion  (and  he  is  one  of  the  most  experienced  microscopists 
in  the  United  ytates),  it  is  alfectation  or  stupidity  for 
Americans  to  send  to  Europe  for  microscopes  when  they  can 
jiurchase  better  ones  at  home. 

Local  An/esthetic. — A  correspondent  of  the  Denial 
Common  says  that  by  applying  a  plug  of  cotton  to  the  gums 
surrounding  a  tooth  to  be  extracted  until  the  gums  turn 
white,  the  operation  can  be  performed  with  very  little  pain. 
The  aniBsthetic  is —

Best  Blacking  for  Boots  and  Shoes. — Ivory  black, 
1  oz.  :  treacle,  1,J  oz.  ;  sperm  oil,  3  drachms  ;  strong  oil  of 
vitriol,  3  drachms  ;  common  vinegar,  \  pint.  Mix  tlie  ivory 
black,  treacle,  and  vinegar,  then  the  sperm  oil  and  oil  of 
vitriol  separately,  and  add  them  to  the  other  mixture.  This 
will  be  found  an  excellent  and  useful  receipt. — Leather 
Trades  Circular. 

Steel  which  has  rusted  can  be  cleaned  by  brushing  with 
a  paste  made  of  ^  oz.  of  cyanide  potassium,  ^  oz.  of  castile 
soap,  1  oz.  of  whiting,  and  water  sufficient  to  form  a  paste. 
The  steel  should  first  be  washed  with  a  solution  of  ^  oz.  of 
cyanide  potassium  in  2  oz.  water.  To  preserve  steel  from 
rusting,  a  good  method  is  to  paint  it  with  melted  caoutchouc, 
to  wliich  some  oil  has  been  added. 

The  following  story  of  French  origin  is  worth  repeating. 
In  a  large  town  there  were  three  brewers  in  the  same  street 
competing  with  each  other;  one  put  out  a  sign,  on  which 
was  painted  the  words  :  "  A  .  .  .,  the  best  brewer  in  France  ;  " 
the  second,  inscribed  in  gold  letters  upon  an  extra  large 
signl)oard,  ''  B  .  .  .,  tlie  best  brewer  in  Die  world ;  "  tlie  third 
modestly  placed  on  his  sign  the  words  "  C  .  .  .,  the  best  brewer 
in  the  street." 

Lady  Analysts.— Mrs.  Frances  Hoggan,M.D.,  atarecent 
meeting  of  the  Ladies'  Debating  Society  read  a  paper  on  the 
"  Microscope,  as  a  llecreation  and  Employment  for  Women," 
in  tlie  course  of  which  she  suggested  that  women  might  find 
lucrative  employment  as  analysts,  or,  as  they  were  termed, 

liousekeeper's  detectives."  If  women  only  studied  the 
subject  ciirefuU}',  there  was  no  reason  why  they  should  not 
form  an  independent  body  of  analysts,  eitlier  visiting  houses 
liiemsclves  or  receiving  specimens  of  food  to  examine  at 
tlieir  own  especial  homes. 


Water  soft  is  m^^  first ;  water  hard  is  my  second  ;  sticks 
made  of  my  whole  are  by  many  sweet  reckon'd.  Liquor-ice. 

"  Kerite,"  a  kind  of  artificial  caoutchouc,  is  the  invention 
of  Mr.  Day,  of  New  York,  and  is  made  as  follows  : — To  pro- 
duce 100  parts  by  weight  of  kerite,  27  parts  of  cotton 
oil  and  30  parts  of  oil-tar  are  heated  together  in  a  cauldron 
for  several  hours,  at  a  temperature  of  about  150°  C.  After 
this  has  been  done,  30  parts  of  linseed  oil,  12  parts  of  sulphur, 
and  5  of  ordinary  wax  or  of  solid  paratTin,  are  added.  The 
whole  is  then  heated  for  five  or  six  hours,  at  a  temperature 
under  150°  C,  to  prevent  carbonisation.  It  is  then  allowed 
to  cool,  and  is  moulded  into  blocks  convenient  for  future 
purposes.  The  price  is  about  one-third  of  the  natural  caout- 
chouc. Mr.  Day  received  honourable  mention  for  kerite 
insulated  telegrajjli  core,  exhibited  at  the  Paris  Exhibition. 

Petroleum  as  an  Insecticide. — Mr.  William  Taylor 
speaks  almost  enthusiastically  in  the  Journal  of  Hortiimltivre 
of  the  virtues  of  petroleum  as  a  murderer  of  "  mealy  bug, 
scale,  and  the  terrible  red  -spider."  Put  a  wine-glass  of 
petroleum  on  a  gallon  of  water.  Then  make  two  or  three 
squirts  with  a  syringe  into  the  vessel  containing  the  mixture, 
andtlien  immediately  one  syringefiil  ofar  the  plant,  and  after- 
wards alternately  squirting  one  into  the  vessel  and  one  on 
the  filant,  it  will  be  kept  sufficiently  mixed  for  all  practical 
purposes.  Thus  used  it  will  kill  red  spider  and  all  but  the 
very  oldest  scale,  although  its  shelly  covering  has  become 
somewhat  hardened,  while  it  will  not  injure  the  tenderest 
ferns.  "  I  have  no  mealy  bug  to  try  it  on,  but  from  what  I 
have  heard  I  have  not  the  least  doubt  of  its  effect  on  that 
terrible  pest."  The  application  beats  hollow  all  the  old 
recipes  for  killing  insects. 

Imitation  Ebony. — The  following  recipe,  which  we  take 
from  the  Revue  Iiidustriellc,  will  answer  totm-n  oak  black  so 
as  to  cause  it  to  resemble  ebony.  The  wood  is  immersed  for 
48  hours  in  a  hot  saturated  solution  of  alum,  and  then 
brushed  over  several  times  with  a  logwood  decoction  pre- 
pared as  follows  : — Boil  1  part  of  best  logwood  with  10  parts 
of  water,  filter  through  linen,  and  evaporate  at  a  gentle 
beat  until  the  volume  is  reduced  one-half.  To  every  quart 
of  this  add  from  10  to  1.5  drops  of  a  saturated  solution  of 
indigo,  completely  neutral.  After  applying  this  dye  to  the 
wood,  rub  the  latter  with  a  sat  urated  and  filtered  solution  of 
verdigris  in  hot  concentrated  acetic  acid,  and  repeat  the 
operation  until  a  black  of  the  desired  intensity  is  obtained. 
Oak  thus  stained  is  said  to  be  a  close  as  well  as  handsome 
imitation  of  ebony. 


THE  first  month  of  the  New  Year  certainly  gave  no  sign  of 
improved  business,  but  we  hear  in  several  quarters  of 
indications  of  bettor  trade  since  February  set  in.  These 
may  be  delusive,  however,  as  they  have  so  often  been  before, 
and  only  the  accidental  arrival  of  a  few  orders  together, 
so  tliat  not  much  reliance  can  be  placed  upon  them.  Looking 
at  the  published  records  of  trade  for  January  we  find  that 
our  imports  show  a  decline  of  more  than  1,000,000^.,  or 
nearly  li  per  cent.  If  values  of  the  goods  imported  were 
the  same  as  last  year  this  would  mean  an  alarmingly 
diminished  consumption,  but  to  a  not  inconsiderable  degree 
it  is  due  to  lower  prices  all  round,  especially  for  cereals,  so 
that  to  that  extent  the  reduction  has  a  favourable  appeai'- 
ance.  Our  ex])orts  exhibit  a  further  decline  of  about 
1 ,250,000^.,  or  about  8  per  cent,  less  than  in  January,  1878, 
on  the  whole  extent  of  British  trade. 

Symptoms  of  improvement  are  visible  in  the  heavy 
chemical  trade.  In  several  instances  for  early  delivery 
makers  have  been  able  to  establish  fractionally  improved 
rates,  and  it  may  be  said  that  soda  and  its  salts  are  decidedly 
firmer  than  last  month.  The  volume  of  trade  is  not_  yet 
large,  but  inquiries  are  much  more  frequent,  and  it  is 
anticipated  that  the  freedom  of  navigation  which  may  very 
soon  occur  will  cause  a  more  general  demand.    This  wi

rapidly  affect  prices,  because  stocks  are  certainly  now  lower 
than  they  have  been  for  years,  and  considerable  reductions 
in  the  production  of  alkalies  have  been  made  both  voluntarily 
and  involuntarily  of  late.  Bleaching  powder,  soda  crystals, 
and  bicarbonate  and  the  potash  salts  would  be  the  first  to 
respond  to  an  increased  demand.  If  the  Plague  should  pass 
the  Russian  frontier  a  rush  on  the  stocks  of  the  first  of  these 
irticles  is  more  than  probable. 

Citric  and  tartaric  acids  and  cream  of  tartar  are  now 
-emarkably  low,  and  for  the  present  there  is  but  little 
iemand  for  either.  Some  buyers  who  use  large  quantities 
lave,  however,  laid  in  their  summer  stocks,  on  the  anticipa- 
ion  of  advancing  prices  as  the  .spring  comes  on^  The 
eports  respecting  the  crop  of  lemons  are  very  contradictory, 
)ut  some  of  these  are,  no  doubt,  manufactured  for  the 
narket. 

English  quinine  has  been  lowered  twice,  and  is  now  quoted 
t  lis.  'id.  French  is  less  freely  obtainable  at  present,  and 
3  quoted  lis.  9d.  to  \2s.  iid.  The  universal  favour  of  E.I. 
arks  was  strikingly  exhibited  in  the  bark  sales  this  week, 
'hen  South  American  kinds,  which  were  in  limited  supply, 
'ere  comparatively  neglected,  and  were  sold  at  generally 
asier  prices,  red  only  fully  maintaining  its  position,  while 
large  quantity  of  East  Indian,  mostly  Government  grown, 
'hich  was  put  forward,  realised  prices  up  to  10.9.  per  lb.  for 
jme  special  lots.  The  following  were  the  various  prices 
lade.  Columbia  and  New  Granada,  good  ordinary,  2s.  6d. ; 
..iddling  to  good,  3s.  to  3s.  9d. ;  fine,  is.  'Sd.  to  4s.  6cZ.  Some 
ought  in  up  to  6s.  3d.  Carthagena  made,  for  ordinary, 
id.  and  Is.  5d. ;  fair  sorts,  2s.  2d.  to  2s.  dd. ;  good  to  fine, 
•.  3d.  to  is. ;  red,  sea  damaged,  siftings  at  Is.  \d.,  ordinary 
lalities,  3s.  Id.  to  3s.  lOd.,  and  some  fine  bold  8s.  Id.  The 
'  ,1.  sorts  realised  from  Is.  3d.  to  is.  3d.  for  Cejdon  ;  Madras, 
'ostly  Government  grown,  was  bought  at  5s.  8d.  to  5s.  lid. 
r  crown  mossy  quill,  7s.  Id.  to  8s.  Id.  for  quill  without 
pss,  9s.  Id.  to  9s.  id.  for  fine  pale  flat  renewed,  and  a  few 
fecial  lots  10s. 

'Iodine  is  firm  at  Is.  Id.,  but  bromine  and  bromides  are 
<  ;'ain  cheaper,  bromide  of  potassium  being  sold  at  Is.  8d. 
I  'Camphok. — The  stock  is  increasing,  though  still  much 
How  the  average.    No  deficiency  is,  however,  now  antici- 
]'ted,  and  a  further  reduction  has  occurred. 
Quicksilver  has  again  been  lowered  to  12os.  per  bottle. 
',ie  bottle  was  sold  at  last  drug  sales  for  61. 
•Opium  has  a  rising  tendency,  and  some  fluctuations  may 
V  fairly  expected  in  this  drug  between  this  and  when  the 
ciracter  of  the  new  crop  becomes  reliably  known.  Some 
Irsian  opium  of  good  quality  was  put  up  at  the  last  sales, 
ai  bought  in  at  14s.  9rZ. 

The  new  essences  of  lemon  and  bergamot  have  come  to 
lid,  and  are  of  good  quality  and  rather  cheaper.  Oil  of 
aise  is  declining  to  its  previous  price ;  otto  of  roses  is  in 
g)d  supply,  and  is  again  cheaper;  and  American  oil  of 
pjpermint  is  still  quoted  at  a  low  figure. 

Jubebs  have  been  in  demand,  and  have  advanced  to  55s., 
hders  now  declining  that  price. 

!oca  leaves  were  bought  in  at  last  sales  at  Is.  Id.,  Bucliu  at 
l'2d.  to  Is.  Gd.,  Matico  at  10^^.,  and  Singapore  Patchouli  at 
8  Jaborandi  is  wanted,  and  not  on  the  market.  Tinne- 
vdy  senna  made  5d.,  and  B\d.  for  good  middling;  fair  to 
g''d  Tinnevelly  is  worth  9d.  or  lOd. ;  Alexandrian  fair 
pked  was  bought  in  at  Is.  2d. 

does  are  cheaper  for  Cape  and  Barbadoes,  but  Socotrine  is 
vtited,  and  commands  good  prices. 

topaiba  has  now  become  less  abundant,  and  advancing 
p  ;es  may  be  expected. 

■AFPRON. — French  reports  assure  us  that  there  is  a  con- 
sr-;rable  deficiency  in  the  supply,  and  a  speculative  move- 
nr  it  in  London  has  forced  up  the  price  considerably. 

he  Dalmatian  insect  flowers  have  become  very  dear,  and 
ai;idvance  of  Is.  per  lb.  in  insect  powder  is  the  result. 

'he  first  indigo  sales  for  the  year  were  held  the  middle  of 
J' uary,  and,  in  consequence  of  higher  rates  at  Calcutta, 
b!ter  prices  were  confidently  expected  here.  A  large 
q  ntity  was  put  down  for  sale,  but  on  the  first  day  the 
h'le  demand  proved  to  be  much  below  the  average, 
at  owners  withdrew  freely.  This  caused  more  competition 
01 1  he  second  day,  and  the  result  was  an  average  about 
eqil  to  previous  prices.  Bengal  and  Madras  marked  a  Id. 
ar'  2d.  advance.    Oudes  and  Kurpahs  were  about  the  same 


Shellac  has  been  largely  bought,  and  an  advance  of  2s.  or 
3s.  has  been  established.  Some  speculation  has  taken  place 
in  turmeric,  which  has  been  dealt  in  up  to  25s.  for  fine 
Cochin.  Cochineal  has  been  bought  readily,  and  an  improve- 
ment of  2d.  per  lb.  has  been  realised  for  Mexican  and 
Teneriffe. 

Isinglass  has  made  slightly  better  f)rices  for  East  Indian 
and  Brazil,  but  West  Indian  shows  a  trifling  reduction. 

Oils. — Linseed  has  been  firmer,  and  is  still  rather  higher 
than  last  month,  but  it  is  not  now  at  its  highest  point.  The 
latest  reports  indicate  an  upward  tendency.  Rape  oil  is 
steady  and  quiet.  Olive  oil  is  in  but  slight  demand,  but 
is  somewhat  firmer,  especially  for  Gallipoli  oil,  which  is 
not  so  abundant  as  was  confidently  expected.  There  have 
been  some  tendencies  towards  a  speculative  movement  in 
the  Sicilian  and  Neapolitan  markets,  and  it  is  believed 
that  when  the  demand  does  come  much  higher  prices  will 
rule.  Some  olive  oil  has  been  bought  in  Sicily  for  Feb- 
ruary, 1880,  at  3/.  per  tun  above  j^i'esent  quotations,  in  the 
belief  that  a  short  crop)  will  follow  the  present  abundant 
one.  An  export  duty  on  Italian  oil  has  lately  been  abolished, 
but  the  effect  of  this  has  been  balanced  by  a  greater  demand, 
which  has  sprung  up  since  the  beginning  of  February.  Fish 
oils  are  still  declining.  Turpentine  is  rather  higher,  22s.  3d. 
being  now  realised  for  American  spirit.  Petroleum  has 
steadily  declined  all  the  month,  and  has  been  bought 
during  this  week  at  l^d.

THE  CHEMIST 


AND  DRUGGIST. 


[February  15,  187!). 


Can  Any  Registered  Dentist  Assume  the  Title  of  Dental  Surgeon  ? — At  a 
recent  meeting  of  the  Dental  Reform  Committee,  the  body  which  framed 
the  Dentists  Act  of  1878,  a  discussion  occurred  on  a  question  which  was 
mooted  in  this  section  last  month.  Jfr.  Dennaut  aslced  if  a  chemist 
registered  under  the  Act  would  be  entitled  to  call  himself  a  dental-surgeon 
or  a  surgeon-dentist.  The  President  (Mr.  John  Tomes)  said  it  was  a  ques- 
tion for  a  lawyer  ;  to  his  mind,  such  an  assumption  of  a  title  was  certainly 
a  moral  offence.  A  general  discussion  ensued,  and  the  general  opinion 
e.xpressed  was  that,  as  the  Act  permits  the  registration  of  any  person  who 
at  its  passing  was  bond  fide  engaged  in  the  practice  of  dentistry  or  dental- 
surgery,  in  conjunction  with  the  practice  of  pharmacy,  it  could  not  l)e 
assumed  that  a  person  duly  registered  with  such  a  qualification  would  not 
have  a  legal  right  to  the  title  of  "  dental-surgeon."  A  few  thought  that  the 
title  "  dental-surgeon  "  belonged  truly  only  to  those  who  held  the  L.D.S. 
qualification  of  the  College  of  Surgeons.  It  was  pointeil  out,  too,  that  the 
Medical  Council  would  have  the  right  of  cancelling  the  registration  of  any 
person  who  had  obtained  registration  by  false  representations,  or  who  had 
been  convicted  of  unauthorised  assumption  of  a  title.  But,  as  for  this 
purpose  legal  conviction  would  be  necessary,  the  point  did  not  seem  very 
apropos.  It  was  resolved,  however,  that  counsel's  opinion  should  be  taken, 
the  question  to  be  submitted  being  left  to  Mr.  Tomes.  The  discussion  is 
reported  in  the  British  Journal  of  Dental  Science  for  January. 

11/23.  0.  H.— Eucalyptus  Oi/.— All  the  eucalyptus  oil  in  commerce  is 
obtained  from  tlie  ffKcnJi/p/us  amygdaiiini.  It  seems  probable  that  scien- 
tific wi-iters  on  the  subject  are  not  aware  of  this  fact,  tor  they  almost  in- 
variably allude  to  the  oil  as  that  of  the  Eucalyptus  globulus.  The  latter  is, 
of  course,  to  be  had,  but  its  aroma  is  less  agreeable  than  that  of  the 
E.  amygddlina,  the  leaves  yield  a  far  less  proportion  of  oil,  not  more  than 
G  ounces  being  obtained  from  a  hundredweight,  and  the  tree,  though  indi- 
genous to  Victoria,  grows  only  in  districts  very  difficult  of  access,  such  as 
the  Cape  Otway  Range.  The  oil  of  the  E.  amygdalina  is  to  be  bought  in 
in  England  in  bulii  at  about  2i.  6.7.  per  lb.  Mr.  Bosisto,  of  Melbourne, 
reckons  that  the  oil  of  the  E.  globulus  could  not  be  sold  here  for  less  than 
12s.  Eucalyptol  is  an  ethereal  spirit  obtained  from  the  oil  of  the 
E.  globulus,  and  itcould  not  be  sold  in  England  for  less  than  4Ss.  per  lb. 

17/269.  A'.  D.— Cleaning  Stains  on  Indiaruhber  Beds. — The  difficulty  is 
tuat  it  these  stains  are  taken  out  by  soda  or  any  alkali,  a  mark  will  be  left 
which  cannot  be  removed.  The  only  sate  plan  is  to  rub  first  with  a 
sponge  and  cold  water,  and  atterwartls  to  use  a  little  soap  with  a  soft 
tooth-brush.  This  must  be  applied  for  a  long  time  with  patient  brushing. 
Perhaps  a  little  fine  pumice-stone  might  aid  the  process, 

19/264.  Ouiliclmiis.— The  maker  oE  a  proprietary  article  may  reckon  to 
get  about  half  the  retail  price  net  if  he  supply  it  in  the  usual  course  of 
trade.  The  wholesale  houses  pay  monthly  or  quarterly,  according  to 
arrangement. 

9/52.  Gums  Senegal  and  Arabic,  in  Confectionery.— Rc^w/a;' 
Subscriber. —What  is  the  ilifference  In  working  of  gums,  E.I.  Ai-abic  and 
Senegal  ?  Is  Senegal  more  soluble,  ami  does  it  get  so  hard  as  the  E.I. 
Arabic  when  used  in  the  form  of  juj  ibe  by  eonfectiouers,  and  is  Senegal  of 
equal  strength  ?— Senegal  is  not  of  equal  strength  with  Arabic.  It  dissolves 
differently,  and  when  made  up  does  not  get  so  hard,  but  remains  pasty.  It 
is,  therefore,  not  so  useful  in  confectionery. 

11/13.  G.  L.N. — Lnfermcnted  H7;ie.— Can  any  liqmd  be  correctly  called 
wine,  unless  it  is  a  product  of  fermentation  ?— The  term  is,  we  should  say, 
both  ctymologically  and  scientifically  inaccurate.  The  Greek  word  oinos, 
from  which  our  "  wine  "  is  derived.  is  believed  to  have  had  a  Semitic  origin, 
and  to  be  associated  with  the  Hebrew  iin,  which  is  a  derivative  of  the  verb 
ioun,  which  meant  to  effervesce  (Littre).  If  there  could  be  an  "  unfer- 
mented  wine  "  it  would,  we  presume,  be  merely  a  syrup. 

11/49.  Guimanve. — The  adhesive  substance  used  on  the  label  you  send  us 
is  evidently  a  solution  of  glue  or  gelatine. 

11/  57.  Starch-making.— QaeeHiZand.— We  know  of  no  work  in  English 
treating  specially  of  the  manufacture  of  starch.  Twenty  pages  are  flevoted 
to  the  subject  in  Paul's  "Pajen's  Industrial  Chemistry,"  published  by 
Longmans  &  Co.  at  about  18s.  Hartleben,  of  Vienna,  Pesth,  and  Leipzig, 
has  published  "  Die  Stiirke-Fabrikatioa  uud  die  Fabrikation  des  Trauben- 
zuckers  "  (the  manufacture  ot  starch  and  grape  sugai-).  A  popular  account 
of  the  manufacture  ot  all  kinds  of  starch  found  in  the  market,  as  potato, 
wheat,  maize,  rice,  arrowroot,  and  other  starches,  washing  and  toilet  starch, 
ordinary  sago,  also  the  utilisation  in  the  preparation  of  starch  of  all 
suitable  wa.ste  products,  by  Felix  Rehwald,  starch  and  grape  sugar  maker, 
with  16  explanatory  engravings,  price  (in  Vienna)  3s.  If  you  can  read 
German  you  will  probably  find  this  work  as  cheap  and  convenient  as  any 
you  can  get.  We  do  not  think  you  will  find  in  any  book  a  minute 
description  of  the  details  ot  starch  manufacture.  These  secrets  are  not 
interesting  to  the  general  public,  and  are  too  valuable  to  be  given  to  the 
world.   They  are  only  to  be  learnt  by  experience. 


]];39.  Pharmacy  in  New  Zealand.— Ofcv/(«i^i«.— The  latest  advices 
inform  us  that  a  Pharmaceutical  Society  is  now  being  organised  in  Kew 
Zealand,  if  it  is  not  already  in  existence.  We  do  not  yet  know  its  constitu- 
tion or  laws,  but  it  is  nearly  certain  that,  for  assistants  at  least,  the 
examin.ations  will  not  be  compulsory.  There  is  a  fair  demand  for  assistants ; 
vacancies  are  constantly  occurring,  and  they  are  fairly  well  paid.  As  regards 
the  30?.  which  you  propose  to  invest  in  something  to  trade  with  over  there, 
we  strongly  advise  you  to  limit  yourself  to  carrying  cash.  You  would  find 
30?.  worth  of  merchandise  as  much  trouble  as  3,000?.  worth,  and  you  would 
most  likely  make  a  loss  on  it.  Articles  in  demand  there  are  already  sup- 
plied by  existing  agencies. 

ira'?ncc  asks  the  editor  ot  tlie  English  Mechanic  whether  "a  superficial 
knowledge  ot  Latin  will  caiTy  a  chemist's  assistant  through  an  examina- 
tion of  chemistry  ?  " — We  do  not  hold  so  light  an  opinion  of  Latin  as 
Mr.  Lone  professes  to  entertain,  but  we  cannot  attribute  to  it  any  ot  the 
magical  powers  which  "  Wallace  "  seems  to  fancy  may  reside  in  a  super- 
ficial acquaintance  with  it. 

13/51.  Pill-coating— Labels  on  Tin.—//.  Ilobson. — Both  your 
inquiries  have  been  fully  answered  in  The  Chemist  and  Druggist  tor  the 
past  year.  Two  lengthy  papers  on  pill-coating  will  be  found  on  pages  12 
and  205  ot  our  last  volume,  and  several  devices  for  securing  paper  labels  to 
tin  are  given  on  page  188  of  the  "  Diary"  for  1879. 

14/11.  Silcer  (1). — The  last  evening  meeting  of  the  Pharmaceutical 
Society  was  held  on  Wednesday,  February  5.  The  next  will  be  held  on  the 
first  Wednesday  in  March.  The  next  annual  meeting  will  be  held  about 
the  middle  ot  May. 

Compound  Liquorice  Powder.— The  compoun  1  powder  ot  liquorice 
orPulvis  glycyrrhiza;  compositus  of  the  addendum  to  the  Pliarmacopa;iais 
thus  composed.  Senna  and  liquorice  root  of  each  2  oz.,  refined  sugar  6  oz., 
all  in  fine  powder  ;  mix  and  sift.  The  Pulvis  liquiritioj  compositus,  or 
Brust  pulver  ot  the  Pharmacopceia  Germanica  (synonyms,  Pulvis  gl.vcyrr- 
hizaj  compositus,  pulvis  pectoralis  Kurella?,  and  pectoral  powder)  is  made  by 
adding  an  ounce  each  ot  fennel  fruit  and  washed  sulphur  to  the  above 
mixture. 

Mildewed  Plate  Glass. — Can  any  of  our  readers  throw  light  on  the 
following  case. — Some  three  months  ago  I  got  plate  glass  (silvered)  put 
back  of  my  shop  bottles  some  three  inches  from  the  wall,  say  two-thinls  on 
the  shelf,  the  wall  being  an  inside  wall.  Tlie  glass  has  become  quite  mildewed, 
covered  all  over  with  spots  ;  in  fact,  the  silver  can  be  rubbed  off,  although 
it  is  the  patent  plate — that  is,  painted  with  red  paint,  or  something  ot  the 
sort.  What  is  the  reason  of  it.  My  shop  is  perfectly  dry — gas  burning 
both  sides  of  the  wall. 

13/32.  Ignoramus. — Your  best  plan  will  be  to  get  a  Materia  Medica  cabinet 
(these  are  often  advertised  in  our  Exchange  Column),  and  some  book  on 
Materia  Medica,  and  study  them  together,  until  you  are  familiar  with  tlie 
names  and  history  of  every  drug.  If  you  wish  to  learn  only  just  so  much 
as  is  necessary,  a  book  such  as  Muter's  or  Wills'  will  suit  you.  If  you  mean 
to  take  an  interest  in  the  subjiict,  we  should  advise  you  to  get  a  copy  of 
Hanbury's  "  Pharmacographia,"  and  not  to  spare  your  atlas.  Hanbury 
carefully  studied  will  give  you  a  good  deal  of  information  on  the  com- 
mercial history  ot  drugs.  When  you  know  the  drugs,  the  chemicals  must 
engage  your  attention  ;  but  the  knowledge  of  a  chemist's  assistant  cannot 
bo  acquired  without  a  "  vast  deal  of  trouble,"  and  you  can  never  expect  to 
know  the  "  ins  and  outs"  without  an  apprenticeship. 

14/51.  Ink  for  Spring  Stamping  Presses.— C.  W.  W.  Nottingham. 
— The  following  have  been  tried  and  found  useful.  They  answer  best  when 
applied  evenly,  by  means  of  a  small  pad,  to  a  little  cushion  on  which  the 
stamps  are  to  be  inked. 

Blaclc  (1).  Finest  lamp  black,  1  part;  Prussian  blue,  2  parts  ;  rub  with  a 
little  glycerine,  add  pulvis  acacise  1  part,  and  enough  glycerine  to  make  a 
thin  paste.  (2).  Another  form  for  black  ink  is  the  following  : — Finest 
lamp  black,  10  parts  ;  pulvis  acacia;,  4  parts  ;  glycerine,  4  jjarts  ;  water, 
3  parts.  Dissolve  the  gum  in  the  water,  add  the  glycerine,  then  rub  the 
lamp  black  with  the  mixture  in  a  mortar. 

Blue.  Rub  to  a  smooth  paste  Prussian  blue  6  parts,  with  oxalic  acid 
1  part,  and  a  little  water.  Leave  in  a  warm  place  for  24  houi-s,  then  add 
more  water  and  gum  arable  1  part,  and  water  to  make  a  thin  paste. 

Aniline  Inks  may  be  made  by  using  the  proportions  of  glycerine  and  gum 
arable  used  for  black  ink  (1)  adding  the  aniline  colour  in  any  desired 
quantity. 

Coloured  inks  make  as  black  (2)  substituting  appropriate  pigments  for 
lampblack;  viz.  for  yellow,  chrome  yellow;  red,  red  lead  or  red  ochre; 
gri  en,  green  ultramarine  or  chrome  green  ;  blue,  indigo,  Prussian  blue,  or 
blue  ultramarine;  brown,  umber.  Of  course,  every  different  stamp  will 
require  ink  specially  adapted  to  it.  The  above  formula^  answer  well  under 
the  conditions  given,  but  we  cannot  answer  for  their  behaviour  under  other 
circumstances.    If  tliey  do  not  suit  you  please  repeat  your  query. 

12/38.— Surgeons'  Preliminary  Examination.— A  syllabus  can  be 
obtained  on  application  to  the  Secretary  to  the  Royal  College  of  Surgeons, 
Lincoln's  Inn  Fields. 

Practice  of  Pharmacy  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand. — Mr.  H.  F.  Smyth, 
Bell  Street,  Reigate,  will  be  glad  ot  any  information  he  can  obtain  on  this 
subject.

THE  CONTINUOUS  VOLTA-ELECTRIG  CURRENTS,  rendered  most 
conveniently  self-applicable  by  recent  improvements  of  these  Chain- 
Bands,  although  applied extern.ally,  penetrate  to  the  innermost  organs,  pro- 
moting digestion, circulation ,  and  nutrition,  and  perform  their  recuper.ative 
and  restorative  work  in  a  silent,  natural  way,  devoid  of  the  costliness,  un- 
certainty and  inconvenience  of  ordinary  treatment,  or  of  any  unpleasant 
sensation  or  shocks,  counter-irritation,  &c. 

Even  a  Five  Shilling  Band  of  the  minimum  electric  power  evinces  its 
genuineness  by  deflecting  a  telegraphic  needle  at  many  miles'  distance, 
whilst  those  of  superior  price  and  p(jwer  produce  all  the  physical,  chemical,

Por  Efficacy,  Perff.ction,  and  Freedom  from  harm,  Warner  &  Co.'s  Pills  of  Phosphorus  are  unrivalled.  The  process 
iriginated  and  perfected  by  W.  R.  Wahnek  &  Co.,  for  the  administration  of  Phosphorus  in  pill  form,  diffuses  the  Phosphorus,  in 
ts  elementary  state,  thoroughly  through  the  soft  and  non-resinous  mass  in  a  state  of  solution,  a  result  by  no  other  process  attainable. 
Che  value  of  Phosphorus  as  a  remedial  agent  is  impaired  if  the  element  is  not  exhibited  in  its  free  state,  and  protected  Ironi 
■)xidation  by  a  perfect  and  impervious  coating  of  pure  white  suffar.    You  are  cautioned  to  avoid  cheaper  and  inferior  brands.

mid  Wustins:  I>isefises-  &:c. 


The  Iiancet  recnmmends  it  as  a  substitute  for  Cod  Liver  Oil  iu  pulmonary  and  other  complaints. 

The  Medical  Times  and  Gazette  says—"  In  our  Hospital  Kepoi-ts  of  May  12th,  1877,  we 
rcportefl  a  ciise  of  pulmoTiary  disease  iu  the  London  Hospital,  in  which  verj' marked  improvement  took  place  during 
tlie  exhibition  of  thin  wine,  without  any  other  medical  treatment.  It  ia  a  very  agreeable  remedy,  the  basis  being  apure 
muscat  wine,  and  its  ueefiilnesa  ia  attested  by  the  names  of  physicians  and  surgeons  of  high  standing  and  repute." 

The  ZiOndon  Medical  Record  says — "It  is  a  wine  of  most  a^-ceable  flavour  and  good  alco- 
holic strength,  and  ig  reconuncni'cd  us  un  aRent  in  strumnus  and  phthisical  diseases.  A  considerable  amount  of 
evidence  of  its  etlect;!  is  said  tu  luu e  fiLcn  uccumulated  in  the  experience  of  Dr.  T>abb<'',  senior  surgeon  to  La  Pit i*', 
Dr.  Gombault.  Dr.  Mollaiif!,  senior  jiiiysiciun  ot  tlie  llospital  St.  Autoine,  Dr.  Jules  Worms,  and  in  this  country  by 
Dr.  Langdon  Down.  Dr.  Tlioruwgood.  and  otlier  well-known  pJiy&icidns.  Its  ijeculiarly  agreeable  character,  and 
Ikvourable  influence  on  the  digestion  are  especial  recommendations  of  the  '  Vin  de  BaudoD.'  " 

The  Sanitary  Record  says — *' It  is  extensively  used  in  the  Paris  Hospitals  as  a  tonic  and 
restorative  in  phthisis,  strumous  disease,  and  after  severe  surgical  operations."

RECTIFIED  OPIUM 

/s  Turkey  Opium  of  Standard  Quality. 

It  is  distinguished  from  crude  Opium  of  commerce  by  its 
freedom  from  Narcotine,  Fat,  Caoutchouc,  and  odorous  matter, 
and  /ii/  i/s  vnvari/ing  strength  as  regards  Morphia,  of  which 
alkaloid  it  invariably  contains  10  per  cent,  when  powdered,  or 

9  per  cent,  when  in  mass. 
The  Trade  will  find  the  above  Powder  the  most  satisfactory 
kind  of  Opium  for  preparing  the  tincture,  sedative  solution, 
and,  indeed,  for  every  pharmaceutical  preparation  into  which 
Opium  enters.

'*  Rich.  Battlet  "  is  over  each  Cork  and  on  the  Label  attached  to  each  Bottle,  ivithoiit  which  none  is  genuine- 
The  above  are  only  prepared  at  the  Laboratory,  Cripplegate,  London,  by  Battley  &  Watts.

British  Pharmaceutical  Conference,  September  18G4 :  — 

LIQUOR  OPII  SEDATIVUS. 

The  striking  appearance  resulting  from  the  evaporation  of  Eattley's  Sedative  (Plate  III.,  Fig.  1)  first  drew  our  attention  to  the  mode  of  investigation 
■  now  described.  We  have  examined  it  frequently  and  always  have  met  with  the  same  characters.  The  slides  present  au  almost  opaque  mass  of  crystals  of 
;    morphine  salts  and  codeine,  with  a  very  small  portion  of  iiarcotine  (and  meconic  acid  ?),  and  so  far  as  we  have  observed,  complete  absence  of  resinona 

i matter  and  narceine.  Anyone  who  has  studied  (he  microscopic  characters  of  this  preparation  will  readily  understand  how  it  lias  kept  its  place  with  the 
profession  in  spite  of  the  cheap  imitations  which  have  been  so  largely  puffed  as  substitutes  for  it.  Though  we  have  experimented  much  with  a  view  to 
1  preparing  a  similar  liquor,  we  liave  not  yet  arrived  at  an  identical  result.  Of  three  makes  which  we  have  examined,  one  (Plate  III.,  Fig.  5)  is  largely 
charged  with  resinous  matter,  and  the  proportion  of  crystalline  constituents  is  so  miuute  that  we  are  satisfied  its  activity  must  be  very  small ;  another 
(  (Plate  III.,  Fig.  4)  gives  a  few  morphine  crystals,  a  good  deal  of  narootine,  and  more  narceine;  a  third  (Plate  HI.,  Fig.  6)  is  chiefly  remarkable  for  its 
I    lack  of  everything  crystalline.

WHAT  IS  TRUTH? 


Trntli  is  a  solid  fact,  more  solid  than  the  granite  rock  :  it  is  the  richest  coin  of  the  purest  metal,  free 
rom  alloy  of  any  description.  The  shaft  of  envy  will  not  face  it,  neither  will  the  shots  of  prejudice  enter 
t.  It  is  surrounded  on  all  sides  by  a  thousand  foes,  but  each  and  all,  without  exception,  are  mute  beneath 
ts  piercing  glance. 

It  is  £t  Fact,  as  solid  as  tlie  above,  tliat 


7hic]i  have  been  before  the  jiublic  for  Thirty  Year.-J,  have  now  become  one  of  the  leading  Patent  Medicines 
t  the  present  day.  From  north  to  south,  and  from  east  to  west,  they  are  to  be  found  in  the  homes  of 
oth  the  rich  and  the  j^oor.    All  classes  of  Society  use  tlicm,  and  they  are  by  thousands  declared  to  be 

WORTH  A  GUINEA  A  BOX. 

For  a  Weak  Stomach,  Impaired  Digestion,  and  all  Disorders  of  the  Liver, 
hey  act  like  "  MAGIC,"  and  a  few  doses  will  be  found  to  work  wonders  on  the 
nost  important  organs  in  the  human  machine.  They  strengthen  the  whole 
muscular  system,  restore  the  long-lost  complexion,  bring  back  the  keen  edge 
if  appetite,  and  arouse  into  action,  with  the  ROSE-BUD  of  health,  the  whole 
physical  energy  of  the  human  frame.  These  are  "FACTS"  admitted  by 
housands,  embracing  all  classes  of  Society,  and  one  of  the  best  guarantees  to 
ke  Nervous  and  Debilitated  is,  BEECHAM'S  PILLS  have  the  LARGEST 
JALE  of  any  Patent  Medicine  in  England.

EVANS'S    EXTRACT    OF  MALT. 

PROFESSOR  ATTFIELD,  Pit.  D.,  F.C  S.  (Professor  of  Chemistry  to  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great  Britain,  Nov.  1872),  writes  :—"  Evaass 
Extract  is  incotnparably  more  valuable  than  any  preparation  ol:  malt  hithert:>  oflferetl  to  the  Public." 

PROFESSOR  TICHBORNE  writes  :— "Other  preparations  o£  this  ckxss  which  I  have  examined,  on  evaporation  yielded  only  3G  grains  of  extractive  to 
the  fluid  ounce,  whilst  yours  contains  lOl  .")  grains." 

Dr.  APJOHN  writes  : — "  Of  these  constituents  the  most  remarkable  are  those  which  include  Nitrogen,  the  amount  of  which  is  unusually  large— reach- 
ing, as  it  does,  nearly  5  per  cent.  The  Proteinic  compounds  in  an  ounce  of  it  weigh  22  32  grains,  and  the  analogous  compounds  in  an  ounce  of  beef- 
steak 98'43  grains.  Hence,  weight  for  weight,  the  alimentary  value  of  the  Extract  is  very  nearly  one-quarter  that  of  the  beef-steak.  It  is  therefore, 
nutritious  n  a  high  degree,  and,  being  no  doubt  easii  of  assimiUitioa,  it  must  constitute  a  useful  supplementarij  food  in.  cases  ofdebilitij  and  weak  digestion." 

EVANS'S  SOLID  EXTRACT  OF  MALT  is  also  prepared  with  the  following:  combinations :- 

Malt  with  Quinine  and  Iron,  Pcpsinc,  Parrislics'  Chemical  Food,  Hypophosphites,  Cod  Liver  Oil. 
Extract  of  Malt—"  Evaxs's"  possesses  the  power  of  producing  a  perfect  emulsion  with  Cod  Liver  Oil,  and  in  this  state  the  taste  of  the  Cod  Liver  Oil 
is  more  perfectly  concealed  than  can  be  accomplished  by  any  other  known  process.

Dr.  J.  COLLIS  BROWNE'S 


THE    ORIC^IIV^L   ^iV13    OIVLY  OETVTJIIVE, 


Prom  Lord  Chancellor  SELBOENE,  Vice-Chancellor  Sir  W.  PAGE  WOOD, 
and  the  LORDS  JUSTICES  OF  APPEAL. 

VICE-CHANCELLOE  SIR  W.  PAGE  WOOD,  by  -whom  the  suit  in  Chancery  was  first  heard,  stated  in  his  judgment  that 
Dr.  J.  Collis  Browne  was  undoubtedly  the  Inventor  of  Chlorodyne,  that  the  whole  story  of  the  Defendant  Freeman  was  as 
leliberately  untrue  as  the  falsehood  he  had  deposed  to  with  reference  to  the  use  of  his  Chlorodyne  in  the  Hospital.' 

The  VICE-CHANCELLOR  also  stated,  'that  Chlorodyne  was  a  fanciful  name,  and  had  application  been  made  sooner,  the 
i^ourt  would  have  given  Dr.  Browne  protection.' 

LORD  CHANCELLOR  SELBORNE  coincided  with  the  judgment  of  the  Vice-Chancellor  upon  this  point,  and  stated  'that 
.d  application  been  made  at  a  proper  time  and  place,  the  Court  would  have  found  means  to  restrain  the  Defendant  from  misre- 
iresenting  the  decision  of  the  Vice-Chancellor.' 

LORD  JUSTICE  JAMES,  on  appeal,  stated  in  his  judgment,  '  that  the  Defendant  Freeman  had  made  a  deliberate  misrepre- 
jjentation  of  the  decision  of  Vice-Chancellor  Wood.' 

I  It  was  proved  in  Court,  on  afildavit  by  Mrs.  Forbes,  of  Paris,  that  the  testimonial  published  in  the  Times,  November  14th' 
1865,  speaking  of  the  great  efBcacy  of  Chlorodyne  in  Cholera,  referred  to  Dr.  J.  Collis  Browne's  Chlorodyne,  and  that  she  never 
i.sed_  any  other,  that  she  had  written  to  the  Defendant  Freeman  to  that  effect  ;  notwithstanding  which  notice  the  Defendant 
iublishes  the  said  testimonial  as  referring  to  his  medicine. 

;  The  Editor  of  the  Medical  Times,  in  his  report  on  Chlorodyne,  January  13th,  1866,  gives  information  that  the  Chlorodjme 
eferred  to  was  the  medicine  introduced  by  a  retired  Army  Medical  Officer,  which  was  Dr.  J.  Collis  Browne ;  still  this  is  published 
y  the  Defendant  as  testimony  to  his  medicine. 

Numerous  affidavits  from  eminent  Physicians  and  others  were  produced  in  Court,  stating  that  Dr.  J.  Collis  Browne  was  the 
aventor  of  Chlorodyne,  and  that  when  prescribing  they  mean  no  other. 

1  The  Defendant  himself  publishes  that  his  compound  is  in  effect  and  composition  quite  different  to  any  other  preparation ; 
ievertheless  he  assumes  the  name,  testimonials,  &e.,  of  Chlorodyne. 

Technicalities  in  law  prevent  that  protection  which  the  public  should  justly  have  against  such  a  course  of  conduct.  It  is  now 
icumbent  on  all  who  purchase  Chlorodyne  to  see  that  the  name,  'Dr.  J.  Collis  Browne's  Chlorodyne,'  is  engraved  on  the 
jrovernment  Stamp,  as  it  is  not  sold  otherwise.  All  other  compounds  under  the  name  of  Chlorodyne  are  spurious.  All  attempts 
[t  analysis  have  failed;  hence  the  statement  that  the  constituents  of  Chlorodyne  are  known  is  a  misrepresentation.

I  The  subjoined  list  of  eminent  Firms  concur  with  Vice-Chancellor  Sir  W.  Page  Wood's  statement  in  Court,  that  Dr.  Collis 
jrowne  was  undoubtedly  the  Inventor  of  Chlorodyne;  and  that  when  Chlorodyne,  or  the  Original  Chlorodyne,  is  ordered,  they

"  Messrs.  ROBINSON  &  SONS,  of  New  Brampton,  near  Chesterfield,  have  exhibited  some  beautiful 
specimens  of  Lint,  which  attract  the  attention  of  French  and  foreign  surgeons.  They  look  very  soft 
and  silky.  Their  flax  and  cotton  samples  are  equally  good.  These  exhibitors  especially  draw  the 
attention  of  French  medical  men  (who  employ  the  thready  French  lint)  to  their  cheap  cotton  lint, 
which  is  employed  in  the  majority  of  English  hospitals,  and  which  is  cheap  and  easy  to  apply.  They 
lay  great  stress  on  the  care  they  take  to  rid  the  lint  of  chlorine,  acids,  or  other  irritating  substances. 
They  have  also  a  collection  of  bandages  very  remarkable  for  their  flexibility  and  facility  of  applica- 
tion. They  look  comfortable  to  wear,  and  ventilation  must  take  place  better  with  them  than  through

IMPOKTANT  NOTICE  TP  CHEMISTS. 

/ving  to  the  unscrupulous  methods  and  false  assertions  employed  by  an  irrespon- 
ble  vendor  of  India  Rubber  Porous  Plasters,  we  feel  constrained  to  state  that  our 

INDIA  RUBBER  POROUS  STRENGTHENING  PLASTERS 

e  guaranteed  not  to  contain  a  single  atom  of  Lead  or  any  other  ingredient  calcu- 
\ed  to  injure  the  consumer ;  on  the  contrary,  THEIR  COMPOSITION  IS  PURE 
GET  ABLE;  in  quality  and  general  appearance  they  are  unsurpassed  by  any 
Rker,  and  can  be  obtained  by  the  gross  at  £1  16s.,  less  10  per  cent. 


THE  LANCET." 

Messrs.  SEAHURY  &  JOHNSON  hare  produced  a  list  oE  Plasters,  all  made  with  India  Rubber  as  a  basis,  which  arc  elegant,  stick  well,  are 
ble,  easily  adapting  themselves  to  the  I'okls  of  the  skin,  occasion  no  inconvenience  to  the  patient,  and  have  the  appearance  of  being  made  with  faith- 
^s  to  the  British  Pharmacopoeia.  One  Plaster  worthy  o£  especial  praise  is  the  Salicylated  .Isinglass :  it  is  flexible,  and  on  being  slightly  wetted 
}8  a  good  adhesive  plaster  for  surgical  purposes." 

THE  "MEDICAL  PRESS  AND  CIRCULAR." 

"Among  more  recent  and  valuable  Pharmaceutical  improvements  we  would  draw  the  attention  oi  the  reader  to  an  elegant  and  convenient  lot  of 
]   ^ers  prepared  by  SBABUKY  &  JOHNSON.    Wo  have  recently  tried  some  of  them,  and  find  them  to  be,  severally,  very  neat,  clean,  and  efficacious 
irations.    India  Rubber  has  been  used  as  a  base  in  the  preparation  of  the  Plasters,  by  which  means  the  medicinal  substances  used  are  protected, 
regard  to  their  therapeutical  efficacy,  and  the  style  in  which  they  are  got  up,  we  can  speak  from  experience.    Among  the  other  Plasters  which  have 
1  us  great  satisfaction,  we  may  mention  those  in  which  Bdludontm  and  tlie  8panish  Fly  are,  respectively,  the  chief  ingredients." 

"LONDON    MEDICAL  RECORD." 

"Messrs.  SEABUUY  &  JOHNSON,  of  28  Red  Lion  Square,  London,  have  forwarded  to  us  a  series  of  Plasters  made  in  a  style  which  deserves  warm 
p  e.  All  of  them  are  of  the  best  make  that  we  have  yet  seen,  and,  taken  as  a  series,  constitute  a  considerable  improvement  in  tlie  manufaetm'e  of 
ijcinal  Plasters,  of  which  surgeons  and  physicians  will,  on  inspection,  easily  realise  the  value.  Their  Salicylated  Isinglass  Plaster,  spread  on  strong 
proof  cotton  cloth,  and  applieil  by  wetting,  is  the  best  sui'gical  adhesive  plaster  which  we  have  seen.  The  plaster  itself  is  made  of  puregdatine,  and 
tiseptic  in  character;  it  adheres  firmly  and  closely  on  being  wetted  with  a  sponge;  it  does  not  spoil  in  any  climate.  It  is  obviously  from  its 
facture  calculated  to  last  much  longer  than  the  ordinary  adhesive  plaster.  The  Mustard  Plaster,  the  Capsicum  Plaster,  India  Rubber  Blister 
E  er,  and  Pitch  Plasters  are  all  equally  deserving  of  commendation." 


The  "British  Medical  Journal,"  "Medical  Times  and  Gazette,"  "Chemist  and  Druggist,"  and  many  of  the  Provhicial  Medical 
lals  have  noticed  our  productions  as  worthy  of  special  commendation.    Our  improved  Pharmacopoeia  and  Surgical  Plasters  in  India  Rubber 

nation  overcome  all  objections  found  in  the  use  of  plasters,  and  present  the  followmg  advantages  and  qualities,  which  will  be  appreciated  by  every 
cian,  Surgeon,  and  Chemist : — 

rfect  Cleanliness  and  Reasonable  Price.  Being  Porous  they  do  not  slide  or  move,  thereby  en- 

suring increased  local  action. 
They  remain  serviceable  longer  than  other  plasters.

Ihesion  without  Heat  or  Moisture. 

mbined  India  Eubber  Prevents  Decomposition. 


Our  Mustard  Plasters  are  spread  on  Cotton  Cloth  instead  of  Paper. 

Our  Isinglass,  Court,  Corn,  and  Bunion  Plasters  are  all  spread  with  Chemically-pure  Fish  Gelatine  incorporated  with 

die  Acid.  Fish  Isinglass  treated  by  our  method  of  purification  ensures  an  article  that  adheres  quickly  by  the  application  of  the  slightest  moisture  ; 
Ution  to  its  more  susceptible  and  greater  adhesive  properties  it  is  rendered  antiseptic. 

Every  Pharmacopceia  Plaster  guaranteed  to  be  of  Official  Strength.  We  also  manufacture  in  addition  to  our  list  of  India  Rubber  Plasters,  in  the 
ipproved  form  and  improved  quality,  Mustard,  Silk,  Isinglass,  Medicinal,  Corn,  Bunion,  and  Court  Plasters  in  great  variety. 

If  our  India  Rubber  I'orous  Strengthening  Plasters  possess  any  superiority  over  similar  articles  it  is  owing  to  an  increased  local  action.   AH  Porous 
jrs  are  iiackod  two  dozen  in  a  box,  and  are  fully  warranted  to  give  perfect  satisfaction.   We  quote  a  few  of  the  more  prominent  kinds,  subject  to

THE  OHIGINAL  PREPARATION.    BEWARE  OF  IMITATIONS. 

For  twenty-live  years  -wc  iiiivc  prepared  this  valuable  remedy,  originally  I'rom  tlie  formula  of  a  very  eminent  obstetric  practitioner. 
From  a  long  and  careful  study  of  the  active  principles  of  the  Ergot,  we  have  so  varied  the  process  of  manipulation,  and  have  now  so 
perfected  our  mode  of  operation,  that  it  has  resulted  in  the  very  best  form  in  which  tliis  valuable  therapeutic  agent  can  be  administered. 

It  has  been  extensively  prescribed  by  some  of  the  leading  obstetric  surgeons  in  F.ngland,  India,  and  the  Colonies,  and  has  been  found 
to  produce  the  most  satisfactory  effects.  Safe  and  certain  in  its  results,  possessing  all  the  virtues  of  the  Fkesii  Ekgot,  and  preferable  on 
account  of  its  easy  administration. 

We  select  a  few  of  the  many  Testimonials  wc  have  been  favoured  with,  which  wc  huve  pleasure  in  submitting  for  perusal.

From  J.  A.  STEWART,  Esq.,  M.D. 

Orchard  House,  Pencaitland,  Feb.  IGth,  1874. 
I  have  tried  your  Liq.  Secalls  Aramon.,  and  have  pleasure  in  reporting 
most  favourably  oE  its  action.  It  is  speedy,  sure,  and  reliable  in  its  results, 
and  is  by  far  the  safest  and  most  pleasant,  as  also  tt.e  most  certain  form 
of  Ergot  I  have  ever  met  with,  and  a  most  valuable  remedy  for  those  prac- 
titioners who  have  large  Obstetric  practices. 

From  D.  G.  ASTLEY,  Esq.,  L.F.P.S. 

Newcastle,  Staffordshire,  March  30th,  1874. 
I  have  great  pleasure  in  testifying  to  tlie  efficacy  of  your  Liq.  Pecalis 
Ammon.   I  have  u^ed  it  in  an  extensive  Midwifery  Practice  for  several 
years,  and  with  the  same  satisfactory  results.    I  know  of  no  preparation 

of  Ergot  so  RBr.I.VBLE. 

From  J.  R.  NUNN,  Esq.,  M.R.C.S. 

Warwick,  .June  17th,  1874. 
For  some  time  I  have  used  your  preparation.  Liq.  Secalis  Ammon.,  and 
have  always  found  it  to  answer  admirably,  and  is  so  much  more  pleasant 
for  a  patient  to  take.    This  preparation  I  consider  a  great  boon  to  the 
Obstetric  Practitioner. 

From  W.  JOHNSTON,  Esq..  M.D. 

Clay  Cross,  Derbyshire.  July  19th,  1874. 
I  have  great  pleasure  in  testifying  to  the  efficacy  of  your  Liq.  Secalis 
Ammon.  in  all  Obstetric  cases  where  uterine  action  proves  sluggisli  and 
insufficient,  through  debility  of  constitution.    In  my  experience  it  takes 

PRECEDHNOE  OP  At,L  TUB  OTHER  PREPARATIONS  OP  BRGOT  iu  its  rapidity  Of 

action  upon,  and  p  iwer  of  augmenting,  uterine  contraction. 

From  W.  WOODWARD,  Esq.,  M.D.,  L.R.C.P.  Lond. 

Worcester,  June  'J3i'd,  1874. 
Kindly  send  me  another  bottle  of  your  Liq.  Secalis  Ammon.  You  may 
remember  I  hesitated  to  use  it,  having  preferred  the  powder  to  all  other 
preparations  I  had  ever  tried.  However,  after  having  used  all  you  sent 
me,  I  can  truly  say  it  is  a  most  valuable  preparation,  quite  equal  to  the 
powder,  and  of  course  is  a  much  less  inconvenient  form,  to  say  nothing  of 
the  powder  being  often  inert  on  account  of  want  of  care  in  keeping  it. 

From  THOMAS  WILTSHIRE,  Esq.,  L.R.C.P. 

Sheffield,  May  27th,  1875. 
I  have  used  your  Liq.  Secal.  Am.  for  the  last  two  years,  and  find  it  to  be 
a  MOST  nELIADLE  PREPARATION. 

From  R.  CLARK  NEWTON,  Esq.,  M.R.C.S. 

Newcastle-on-Tyne,  June  28th,  1875. 
I  consider  your  preparation  of  Ergot  (Liq.  Secalis  Amnion.)  THE  best 
I  have  administered.    It  is  quick  and  efficicious  iu  its  action,  and  I  have 
seldom  known  it  vomited. 

From  ALFRED  HOOPER.  Esq.,  ^t.R.C.S. 

Newhall,  Burton-on-Trent,  Sept.  1st,  187.5. 
Your  Liq.  Seca.is  Amnion,  is  the  best  prepar.ation  of  Ergot  I  have  ever 
used.  It  is  RB.M.iuKABLY  CERTAIN,  SAFE,  AND  QUICK  in  its  results.  I  have 
tried  various  forms  of  liquid  extract  of  Ergot,  and  began  to  despair  of 
obtaining  a  thoroughl>  reliable  one.  Yours,  however,  has  raised  my 
drooping  faitli,  and  I  h.ave  groat  plesism'C  iu  bearing  my  testimony  iu  its 
favour. 

from  P.  SCOTT,  Esq..  M.R.C.S. 

Mansfield,  Nott.,  August  .'JOtli,  187.5. 
Having  had  a  large  Ob^fctri'^  practice  for  forty  years,  I  can  with  pleasure 
speak  most  highly  of  yo  if  Liq.  Secalis  Ammon.  as  the  most  safe  and 
CERTAIN  form  OF  Ergot  YET  INTRODUCED,  and  Can  witli  Confidence  recom- 
mend it  to  practitioners. 


From  J.  A.  LYCETT,  Esq.,  L.R.C.P.  Lond. 

Ablow  House,  Wolverhampton,  July  12th,  187.5. 
As  the  administration  of  powdered  Ergot  is  inconvenient,  I,  sometime 
ago,  was  induced  to  try  your  Ammoniated  Solution,  whicli  I  still  use, 
finding  it  very  efficacious,  due  presumably  to  the  medicinal  property  being 
more  soluble  in  the  presence  of  an  alkali.  From  my  experience  I  can  with 
pleasure  recommend  it  as  a  very  good  preparation. 

From  T.  F.  HALE,  Esq.,  M.R.C.S. 

Staveley,  Derbyshire,  .June  1  tth,  1875. 
With  reference  to  your  Liq.  Secalis  Amnion.,  I  have  now  used  it  several 
years  in  a  very  extensive  Midwifery  practice,  and  with  unfailing  results ; 
I  prefer  it  to  any  other  preparation  I  have  yet  met  with,  and  it  is  equally 
efficacious  in  all  cases  where  Ergot  is  generally  found  useful. 

From  THOS.  L.  GENTLES,  Esq.,  L.F.P.S. 

Wellingtou  House,  Derby,  October  Dth,  1875. 
It  affords  me  much  pleasure  to  testify  that  I  have  given  Messrs.  Kichard- 
son's  preparation  of  Ergot  a  fair  trial,  and  I  find  it  thoroughly  efitciekt 
and  RELIABLE. 

From  Drs.  LAMB  and  KISSEN. 

11  Charlotte  Street,  Hull,  April  27th,  1876. 
In  an  extensive  Midwifery  practice  we  have  given  your  Liquor  Secalis 
Ammon.  a  good  trial,  and  find  the  preparation  to  answer  more  speedily 
artd  effectually  than  any  other  we  have  tried.  In  prolonged  and  tedious 
case!  the  stimulating  effect  is  very  marked,  enabling  nervous  and  timid 
patients  to  take  fresh  heart,  and  so  mentally  to  assist  the  already  enfeebled 
patient. 

From  B.-B.  EVANS,  Esq.,  L.R.C.P.,  M.R  C.S  ,  &o. 

St.  Thomas,  Swansea,  June  Sth,  1877. 
I  am  bound  to  say  that  no  other  preparation  of  Ergot  that  I  have  tried 
cm  be  compared  with  yours  for  producing  the  effect  desired  by  tlie 
administration  of  that  drug.  I  have  usel  it  largely  for  the  last  few  years 
in  Obstetric  practice,  and  have  found  it,  witliuiit  exception,  speedy  in  its 
action,  pleasant  to  the  pitient,  and  equally  efficacious  in  producing  uterine 
contractions  both  ante  partum  and  post-parlum. 

From  C.  E.  MONRO,  Esq.,  M.R.C.S.  Eng.,  L.R.C.P.  &  L  M.  Edin. 
I  cannot  speak  in  too  high  terms  of  your  Liquor  Secalis  Amoion.  In  a 
recent  difficult  case  of  post-parlum  haemorrhage  it  acted  marvellously, 
after  the  faii.up.e  of  other  Ergot  preparations.  It  no  doubt  saved 
thk  patient.  It  is  a  very  valuable  preparation,  and  one  which  ought 
to  be  known  and  generally  used. 

From  JOHN  BLACICBURN,  Esq.,  M.R.C.S.,  &c  ,  Surg.,  Beckett  Hospital, 
Ivy  House,  Barusley,  Feb.  2nd,  187G. 
Will  you  send  me  the  same  quantity  of  Liq.  Secalis  Ammon.  as  I  tad 
before.  I  have  always  had  a  prejudice  against  this  preparation,  having 
used  it  several  times  without  producing  the  desired  effect ;  but  after  using 
that  of  yours.  I  feel  bound  to  acknowledge  that  it  is  everything  you  say  of 
it ;  and  in  every  case  I  have  used  it  I  have  always  felt  that  its  action  was 
speedy  and  sure. 

From  WM.  ELLIS,  Esq.,  M.R.C.S. 

Morley,  near  Leeds,  January  3rd;  18"0' 
The  Liq.  Secalis  Amnion,  has  always  been  very  decidedly  beneficial  in  its 
results.  I  have  administered  it  frequently  and  in  large  dose!  of  two  tea- 
spoonfuls  iu  water,  and  never  wituessei  inone  instance  any  injurious  effects. 
I  believe,  from  experience,  that  a  large  dose  of  Secale  should  always  be 
given,  when  tliat  medicine  is  required.  A  seojud  dose  is  never  required. 
From  W.  L'HEUREUX  BLENKARNE,  Esq..  M.R.C.S. 

Buckingham,  September  2l)th,  18i7. 
After  having  given  your  Liq,  Secalis  Ammon.  a  long  trial,  I  can  speaK 
in  the  highest  praise  of  it,  and  I  never  go  to  a  confinement  withouD 
some  of  it  in  my  pocket.

about  three  times  the  strength  of  the 
best  Cocoas  ordinarily  sold ;  free  from  the 
excess  of  fatty  matter,  and  recommended  by  medical  men  as  the  most  wholesome  breakfast  beverage. 

"  We  have  carefully  examined  the  samples  brought  under  our  notice,  and  find  that  they  are  genuine,  and  that  the  Essence  of  Cocoa  is  just  what  it  Is 
declared  to  be  by  Messrs.  Cadbury  Brothers." — Lancet. 

'  "  Cocoa  treated  thus  wiU,  we  expect,  prove  to  be  one  of  the  most  nutritious,  digestible,  and  restorative  of  drinks." — British  Medical  Journal.
